The Dismissal Notice is a crucial employment document used when an employer wishes to formally terminate an employment relationship in Qatar. This document must strictly comply with Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004 and related employment regulations, which mandate specific notice periods, proper documentation of termination reasons, and clear communication of final settlements. The Dismissal Notice serves multiple purposes: it officially communicates the termination decision, documents compliance with legal requirements, outlines the employee's entitlements, and protects both parties' interests. For expatriate employees, additional considerations regarding visa status and sponsorship must be addressed. The document's format and content may vary depending on whether the termination is with or without cause, but must always align with Qatar's employment law requirements.
