"You have been terminated because it is not economical to keep you with the current worldwide recession", I doubt that anybody can contest that.

Also "Because we expected better performance...", "because you spend too much time chatting on the phone" (5 minutes)...

These are all subjective criteria that don't really need hard proof...

It is null and void and can be contestable at Labour Department. Any guilty party can be fined of the amount QR 10,000.00 as fixed penalty.

Employee has the full and inherent right to know the basis or grounds of the termination as fully stated in the Article 61 of the Qatar Labor Law. (Just read the law till Article 64).

Termination notification shall be 15 days and you have 7 days to file your appeal to Labour or any Tribunal of this case. You can also seek the help of the Commission of Human Rights for this reason.

Good luck.
