The Fixed Term Employment Agreement is a crucial document used in Qatar when establishing employment relationships for a specified duration. It is particularly relevant in Qatar's dynamic business environment, where project-based work and term-specific appointments are common across various industries. This agreement type must strictly comply with Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004 and its amendments, incorporating mandatory provisions for working hours, leave entitlements, end-of-service benefits, and termination procedures. The document is essential for both local and international companies operating in Qatar, especially given the country's large expatriate workforce and the need to maintain clear, legally compliant employment terms that protect both employer and employee interests.
