The Employment Termination Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating in Qatar, establishing standardized procedures for all types of employment separations. This document becomes essential in light of Qatar's unique employment landscape and its specific regulatory requirements under Labor Law No. 14 of 2004 and subsequent amendments. The policy provides detailed guidance on handling various termination scenarios, calculating end-of-service benefits, managing notice periods, and ensuring compliance with local labor regulations. It is particularly important given Qatar's large expatriate workforce and the need to manage international employment relationships effectively. The document includes specific provisions for different employee categories and ensures alignment with both mainland Qatar and QFC regulations where applicable.
