Labour law vs contract

MUTHOID

Fellas,
been in Doha for a bit and might have an oportunity to relocate somewhere else for work reasons.

My contract is for 1 year and states 3 months notice period.

Looking into the labour law act it states that if I have worked for less than a year in the companbject to 1 week notice...

Would the labour law prevail over the contract or I will have to stick to the contract?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Best,

Muthoid

It is according to the contract. But remember, If you have not completed two years in the country, you cannot change sponsorship.

place... if you have a contract... whatever the company decides in the end... falls into place:-) (and I mean, even if that doesn't comply with your contact)

i agree with Amici... as u have already agreed with the terms of ur employment contract the time u joined therefore ur empl contract should prevail..!!!

thanks Amici for your reply... but the point is that the law seem to say that less than 1 year = 1 week!?!?

you have to follow the employment contract. the law will be followed if there is no provision for this subject. and also as long as the provision in the employment contract is not axactly unconscionably against the law, then the employment contract should prevail.
