Document background
The Letter of Appointment is a fundamental employment document used in Qatar to formalize employment relationships and ensure compliance with local labor laws. This document is typically issued after successful recruitment negotiations and before the commencement of employment. The Letter of Appointment must incorporate all mandatory requirements under Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004, including specific terms of employment, compensation details, and working conditions. It serves multiple purposes: as a formal job offer, a basic employment contract, and a document required for visa processing. The letter should be drafted in both Arabic and English to ensure legal validity, although the Arabic version prevails in case of disputes.
