The Release Letter From Employer is a crucial document in Qatar's employment landscape, despite recent reforms that removed the mandatory requirement for No Objection Certificates. While the abolition of the kafala system has made employee mobility more flexible, release letters continue to serve as important documentation for employment transitions. This document is typically used when an employee is leaving their current employer, whether for a new position with another company in Qatar or for departure from the country. The letter confirms the completion of the employment relationship, settlement of dues, and the employer's formal acknowledgment of the employee's departure. It needs to comply with Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004 and its amendments, particularly Law No. 19 of 2020, which introduced significant changes to employee mobility rules. The release letter often includes details about the employment period, final settlements, and may address visa status, making it valuable for both administrative purposes and future employment references.
