Document background
The Notice of End of Employment Contract is a crucial document required under Qatar's employment law framework when terminating an employment relationship. It serves as the formal written notification required by Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004 and subsequent amendments, particularly Law No. 17 of 2020. This document must be used whenever an employment contract is being terminated, whether by the employer or through mutual agreement, and needs to specify the notice period, last working day, and arrangements for final settlements. The notice must comply with Qatar's strict labor regulations regarding termination procedures, including minimum notice periods and end-of-service benefit calculations. It forms part of the official employment records and may be required for various administrative purposes, including visa cancellation and employee documentation.
