Qatar Labor Law

What is the new Qatar Labor Law?. In my case I'm employed for 13 years in a private company. I have a copy of my first work contract but it was since 1994. Does it mean that for 13 years my sponsor is just renewing it?, or they have to renew the working visa yearly only?. Is it legal to forfeit my 2 way tickets if it is unused?.

Dear Liza!

Firstly, you should have a copy of your contract with you each time it is revised. Generally, now the norm is that the contract needs to be renewed atlest once in 2 years. In 13 years if there have been changes in your salary package then you can check with the HR dept and ask for a change in the contract.

Three copies of contract are made (one is for you, one for your employer and one for the labor dept). Get your latest copy now.

Resident Permit is something that can be renewed for 1 year, 2 years or 5 years at a stretch.

Hope this clarifies your doubt. Mail me if you have any further queries.
