Dear Customer,                             
Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated!

We would like to inform you that if the company terminated the limited work contract without legal reason and without notice for the unlimited, then you can file a complaint against the company and ask for compensation for the illegal termination and transfer your sponsorship to another company, as the Qatar Labor Law states:

Article (49)

If the service contract is of an indefinite duration any of the two parties thereto may terminate it without giving the reasons for the termination. In this case the party intending to terminate the contract shall notify the other party in writing as follows:

1. In respect of the workers who receive their wages annually or monthly, the notification shall be given not less than one month prior to the date of the termination. If the period of service is five years or less. If the period of service is more than five years, the notification period shall be at least two months prior to the date of termination.
2. In all other cases the notification shall be given in accordance with the following periods :
3. A)    If the period of service is less than one year the notification period shall be at least one week.
4. B)    If the period of service is more than one year and less than five years
5. C)     The notification period shall be at least two weeks.
6. D)    If the service period is more than five years the notification period shall be at least one month.

If the employer terminated the contract without considering these periods, then he shall pay compensation as the worker wage for the notice period or the rest of the contract.

Article (50)

The employer shall pay the worker his wage in full for the notice period provided for in the preceding article, if the worker performs his work in the usual manner during the said period.

The employer shall give permission to the Qatari worker to absent himself from work for reasonable times to enable him to register his name in the register of the Department in order that the worker can avail himself of new employment. The worker shall notify the employer of the new employment immediately on obtaining thereof and shall continue with the work thereafter till the expiry of the notification period.
