Document background
The Written Warning Discipline Notice is a crucial document in Qatar's employment framework, designed to formally address and document employee misconduct or performance issues while ensuring compliance with Qatar Labor Law (Law No. 14 of 2004). This document is typically issued when verbal warnings have proven ineffective or when the severity of the violation warrants immediate written documentation. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the specific nature of the violation, establishing clear expectations for improvement, protecting the employer's legal interests, and ensuring fair treatment of employees as required by Qatari law. The notice must be issued within the statutory timeframes specified in Article 59 of the Qatar Labor Law and should be maintained in the employee's personnel file as per Article 61.
