Labour/Employment Contract in Qatar

hi charansoi11r,

I can assure you that should I decide to quit in one or 2 months of working for the company, it wouldnt be the reason of greener pasture at other company.

Cheers

If I am Your Employer I will make a claim against you for compensation for a Big Amount :)

Don't worry i am not your Employer and I suggest you to talk to him about your problems.

or take Emegency leave saying something like your Great Great Grand Mother Died and Run away from here and never come back.

One of My Assistant Did that to me and ran to Oman with a Higher Salary:)

it depends, ur contract will be for limited time or not

 if its for limited time u can't do any tihng really unless your employer breaches the contract, but if its for unlimited time and ur paid monthly (salary) then u can quit upon 1 month notice,

regarding the probation period its up to the contract, if not mentioned its up to the above said rules, but ur company will have shorter notice period.

thanks again folks

 I am trying to be fair to myself and the company and decide if I should accept the offer given that I am simply NOT confident at all to work in the type of environment that I have been hearing from this forum.  I believe it is just the right thing to do and NOT to hold the offer for too long so that the employer can seek for alternative.

The offer is to my satisfaction in term of remunerations but I have just this in  my minds that I wont be working there long.

I will give myself few more days and make a final decision.

Thanks again everyone! 

You may like to ensure the contract does not refer you to other documents, i.e. policy and procedures.  If it does, you should review these documents also.

thanks Wahine for the clarification and suggestion.

I have already read the offer letter but there was 

nothing in the letter which

indicates any penalty for early resignation.  It is 

simply a standard letter of offer

stating the position, salary + allowances , probationary perod etc.

I dont know how to ask HR department to put it in writing and include "Non-penalty" for early resignation.

Any further suggestion or comments?

Thanks 

I would leave it then, if it is not stipulated, they can not ask for reimbursement from you.

The company can not fire you without going through due process. 

thanks charansoi11r for the reply.

But i dont see anything of the nature being stated on letter of offer.

Is there a separate documents for Contract to be signed after you have joined the company?

Thanks

Every Contract has an escape Clause like "either party can terminate the Contract by giving 1 month notice' Usely company use this to fire people. use this clause in your care to fire the company :)

You owe me QR 1000 for this advise ;)

Your ability to negotiate out of employment without any penalty will largely depend on your employment agreement.  Usually probabation periods are a mutual opportunity for both parties to assess whether they choose to work with one another.  I suggest you read your employment agreement very carefully to determine if there are any loop holes to early resignation (i.e. you don't have to pay back any flights that have been paid for, etc).   The employer can send you contract wording for you to review prior to signing any agreement, so this may be an option.  Also, remember, contracts are only an offer of employment, you may elect to counter offer by requesting some wording changes. 

I suggest asking an HR practitioner or an Employment Lawyer look over your contract to ensure it gives you the flexibility you seek.

Best of luck!
