Abstract

| This law amends article 66 of the Qatari Labour Law. The new article requires the payment of an employee’s salary to be made directly from the employer’s local Qatari account into a Qatari account in the name of the employee. (Art. 2)
An employer who fails to comply with the requirements of the previous article may be sentenced to one month in prison and/or required to pay a fine of 2000 – 6000 QR (Art. 3). |
