Document background
A Job Confirmation Letter is a fundamental employment document used in Qatar when formalizing an employment relationship. It serves multiple purposes: confirming the offer of employment, documenting the agreed-upon terms and conditions, and meeting regulatory requirements under Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004 and related legislation. This document is typically issued after verbal or initial written job offers and before or concurrent with the formal employment contract. It's particularly crucial in Qatar's business environment where it may be required for visa processing, bank account opening, housing arrangements, and other administrative purposes. The letter needs to align with Qatar's strict employment regulations while clearly stating the employment terms, making it an essential document for both local and expatriate employees.
