Hi,

I have a service of contract of a definite time. (2 years). I have almost completed one year.

My company wants to terminate my contract now. Are they obliged to pay the rest of my salary ( almost 12 months) as to compensate. I have checked Qatari labor law but could not conclude anything.

I want only want to get this compensation if I deserve it according to the law.

1- I need this money to buy a house for my mother.
2- I still have good relationship with my company as another factor.

Thank you for your help.

I would like to thank you all for your answers.

As far as I understand, when there is a contract signed by employee and employer, stating that the party who is cancelling the contract must compensate the other party and if the type of contract is 'DEFINITE period', company must be obliged to pay the full contract salary. Of course if there is no misbehave.

I ask you to pray for me, if company pays I will be the happiest man :)

Thank you very much.

Legally, according to Qatar Labor Law. If your employment contact is terminated before the stated date written on the contract you are entittled to the salary remaining in your contract. It is your right as an employee...You should be thankful that your employer follows this rule. As you see not most people doesn't know of this rule.

If an employee have an unlimited contaract then this rule does not apply.

What is the reason they're ending your contract this early? If so, then ask for a release. Is it possible? Good luck. I'm also looking for a new work now - my present company will be giving me a release. Good luck to us both.

Hi There is no obligation on the company to pay you any compensation. Its a matter of companies policy if they want to pay you something on humanitarian basis. But there is no rule as such
