This sponsorship system is totally one sided, its all about employers protection. what about the protection of an employee?

B2Gee, is correct, The Qatar Labor is really ineffective here most of the time its only favors to the locals / Company. There should be a way to protect the interest of two parties, as other members mentioned if the contract of the employee is completed he/she have the rights to move out or change the company or shall say I refused to continue or renew the contract and have the privilege to acquire a release or NOC from the employer. This way I strongly believed its fair for both parties.
