The Staff Loan Agreement is commonly used in Qatar when employers provide financial assistance to employees through structured loan arrangements. This document is essential for organizations operating in Qatar that offer employee loan programs as part of their benefits package. The agreement must comply with Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004, Qatar Civil Code, and Sharia principles, particularly regarding interest calculations and repayment structures. It typically includes provisions for salary deductions, early repayment options, and scenarios involving employment termination. The Staff Loan Agreement serves to protect both employer and employee interests while ensuring transparency and legal compliance in the loan arrangement.
