Steps to fire a maid

Minoush
By Minoush

We are having issues with our maid and we may let her go. She is under our sponsorship. What is the process of letting her go? I don't necessarily want to send her back home as she wasn't breaking any laws, we are just not on the same page as to what is expected as her responsibilities.

Thanks for any help...

Also, what are the pros/cons of not sponsoring a maid but they still work F/T for you?

Hi, minoush, don't know what happened to my earlier post :-(

Both tinker and polka are right.

There are two things you can do.

Give her a month notice, as in a normal contract process, and ask her to look for another job with a willing sponsor. She can place an ad in the papers and for sure she should get a willing sponsor, because there is a demand for maids here. Give her the NOC, so she is able to transfer her sponsorship, and let her go. This way, she is not out of job, and all parties benefit.

If she does not get a job here, let her know clearly that she will be sent home and her visa cancelled, since you need to be able to get another help on a new visa. She can always get in touch with recruitment agencies back home and try to get out again. Here again, give her the NOC, so that if she gets a job again in Doha, while staying out of the country, there won't be any hurdles in her returning back.

Minoush, if you are not satisfied with her, you can give her the option of looking for another job here in Doha, someone who can sponsor her, and then give her the release and let her go, this way she doesn't stay without a job. For this she can place an ad looking for a job with a willing sponsor. She will surely get one.

You can also send her back home as well if you are not satisfied with her work.you are not compelled to keep her, just make sure that she is paid all her dues, but to be on the safer side, check what your contract with her states and do the right thing.

you cannot just "let her go".

You have 2 options only:

1. to find another sponsor for her and to make sure she has transferred her sponsorship properly.

2. to cancel her RP, and then she has to leave within 7 days. Make sure she has left by dropping her to the airport personally.

In any other case, if she got caught here without valid RP, you will be in big trouble.

Thanks, what if she doesn't find another sponsor? Can we just tell her she has until the end of the month? Or do we have to keep her until she finds another sponsor?

Doesn't she get 30 days after we cancel the visa before she becomes "illegal"?

Technically our reason is that she is not performing her duties as a maid.

Thanks all!!

NOC IS No Objection Certificate and releasing an employee that way and applying for another maid visa will be difficult for you as the Labor ministry will question about why have you given a release to an already approved visa, and then applied for the same post.The best procedure for you , [if you intend to bring another maid that is] is to cancel the visa, sent her home and reapply for a maid visa,you also need to provide evidence about the status of your previous maid visa.
