Qatar House driver laws ! Qatar Domestic workers laws!every worker should know

Описание: Workers must be provided with a written employment contact (E Government Contract), certified by the Ministry of Labour, which details the type and nature of the job, salary and other conditions. The contract's Arabic text prevails. For some nationalities, the Embassy will have its own standard as well. Human Rights Watch (HRW), which monitors the employment of domestic workers globally recommends that workers sign employment contracts in their native language which are then certified/notarized as being a true representation of the Arabic language version prior to departure from their home country.

HRW in the past documented several instances of contract substitution, in which a worker signed a contract in their native language only to discover that the Arabic version which governed their employment had less favorable terms. This risk, amongst others, was mitigated in Qatar by the introduction of Qatar Visa Centres (QVC) which operate in the countries from which much of Qatar's domestic workforce are mobilised, e.g. the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh and India. Medical, fingerprints and the E Government Contract execution and attestation is undertaken at the QVC so that when workers enter Qatar they can be issued with their residence permits within one or two days of arrival and there is certainty regarding their employment terms.
