Document background
The Caregiver Contract serves as a vital legal document in Qatar's healthcare and domestic service sectors, designed to establish clear terms of employment between caregivers and their employers. This document is essential when engaging professional caregiving services, whether for elderly care, disability support, or general patient care. It ensures compliance with Qatar's Labor Law No. 14 of 2004 and the specific provisions of Law No. 15 of 2017 on Domestic Workers, which govern domestic staff employment. The contract is particularly relevant given Qatar's large expatriate workforce in the caregiving sector, incorporating necessary provisions for work visas, residence permits, and mandatory health insurance. It protects both employer and caregiver interests by clearly defining responsibilities, compensation, working conditions, and legal obligations within Qatar's jurisdiction.
