The Offer Letter is a crucial preliminary employment document used in Qatar to formally present employment terms to potential employees. It must comply with Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004 and recent labor reforms, including provisions related to minimum wage requirements and the abolition of the Kafala system. This document is typically issued after successful recruitment negotiations and before the formal employment contract. It should outline all key employment terms including position details, compensation structure, benefits, working hours, and other conditions required by Qatari law. The offer letter serves as a precursor to the formal employment relationship and must accurately reflect both the agreed terms and legal requirements in Qatar's jurisdiction. It's particularly important for organizations hiring both local and expatriate employees, as it often triggers subsequent visa and work permit processes.
