The Probationary Employment Agreement is a crucial document used when hiring new employees in Qatar, whether local nationals or expatriates. It serves as the initial employment contract during a probationary period, which under Qatar Labor Law cannot exceed six months. The agreement is designed to comply with Qatar's employment regulations while allowing employers to assess new hires' suitability for permanent positions. It includes essential terms such as compensation (adhering to Qatar's minimum wage requirements), working conditions, performance expectations, and termination provisions. This document is particularly important in Qatar's business environment, where employers must balance workforce development with regulatory compliance and risk management. The agreement should be drafted in both Arabic and English, with the Arabic version prevailing in case of disputes.
