Sponser keeps passport

As I know that in Saudi Arabia, most of the employers/sponsers keep their employee passports all the time until person need to go outside the country.

Does the same thing happen in Qatar as well?

Is this legel or illegal? If illegal is there any law on this to do this or not do this?

Any comments please?

Thanks
