Document background
The Employee Leaving Certificate is a mandatory document required under Qatar's labor legislation when an employment relationship ends. It serves multiple purposes: providing official documentation of employment history, facilitating future employment opportunities, and ensuring compliance with Qatar's labor regulations. The certificate is particularly significant in Qatar's business environment, where it's often required for visa transfers, new employment applications, and legal compliance. The document must include specific information as mandated by Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004 and subsequent amendments, such as employment duration, position held, and reason for termination. For expatriate workers, who form a significant portion of Qatar's workforce, the Employee Leaving Certificate is crucial for immigration procedures and future employment sponsorship.
