Hire in Qatar Without
a Local Entity
Qatar is one of the world's highest-income economies — a fast-growing business destination with world-class infrastructure, a strategic Gulf location, and a thriving energy and financial services sector. Atlass Partners acts as your Employer of Record in Qatar, managing work permit sponsorship, payroll, end-of-service benefits, and full Qatar Labour Law compliance.
Qatar's Labour Law No. 14 of 2004 (amended by Law 18 of 2020) governs employment. Sponsorship reform has improved mobility, but employer-sponsored work permits remain standard. Post-World Cup infrastructure investment continues to drive strong demand for international talent across Doha.
Qatar Employment Compliance — Fully Managed
◆
Work Permit & Residency
All expatriate employees in Qatar require a work permit and Qatar ID (residence permit) sponsored by their employer. Atlass Partners manages the full sponsorship process with the Ministry of Labour, including entry visas, work permits, and residency cards.
◆
End-of-Service Benefits
Under Qatar Labour Law: 3 weeks' basic salary per year of service for the first 5 years; 4 weeks per year thereafter — payable on contract expiry or termination. Atlass Partners accrues and administers EOSB throughout employment.
◆
Wage Protection System (WPS)
Qatar's WPS requires monthly wage payments to be made through approved financial institutions on time. Atlass Partners processes WPS-compliant payroll for all EOR employees and maintains the required records for Ministry of Labour audits.
◆
Annual Leave & Benefits
Minimum 3 weeks (21 days) paid annual leave per year under Qatar Labour Law. 11 official public holidays. Sick leave entitlements under the Labour Law. Atlass Partners administers all leave entitlements and ensures payroll compliance during leave periods.

Notice Periods & Termination
Minimum 1 month notice for indefinite contracts under Qatar Labour Law. Early termination may trigger compensation obligations. Atlass Partners manages all termination documentation, final settlement, and work permit cancellation.
