Document background
The Employee End of Service Letter is a mandatory document required under Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004, specifically Article 51, which must be issued upon the termination of any employment relationship in Qatar. This document serves multiple purposes: it officially confirms the end of employment, provides detailed information about the employee's service period, final position, and compensation, and can be used for future employment verification. The letter is essential for employees to process their exit from Qatar, transfer sponsorship, or seek new employment opportunities. It must be issued regardless of the reason for termination (resignation, contract completion, or termination by employer) and forms part of the final settlement process. The document's format and content are influenced by both legal requirements and professional standards in Qatar, making it a crucial element in the employment documentation framework.
