'Qatarisation'<br />

A Qatarisation initiative is in place which aims to surge the number of Qatari<br />

residents in the public sector workforce. The Labour Law (Law No. (14) <strong>Of</strong> 2004)<br />

presents Qatarisation initiatives for private sector entities. The employment of Qatari<br />

nationals is one of the measures taken into account when tax exemptions are<br />

decided.<br />

Contract of employment<br />

The popular of Qatari contracts of employment will be ruled by the Labour Law which<br />

must be in Arabic and approved by the Labour Department. Employment contracts<br />

for employees of Government entities and agencies along with some energy firms<br />

will be governed by the Human resources Law (Law No.(8) of 2009).<br />

Social and business customs<br />

Qatar is a Muslim national, and the heritage of Islam is deeply embedded in the<br />

Qatari character. Islamic customs govern the general way of life; care must be taken<br />

to respect this, particularly in such matters as the dress code, the observation of the<br />

times of prayer and the fasting month of Ramadan, when food and drink may only be<br />

used up between sunset and sunrise. The importation and consumption of alcohol is<br />

strictly regulated, however, liquor permits may be gained by non-Qatari employees in<br />

certain circumstances and the major hotels are allowable to serve alcohol in<br />

restaurants and selected bars. Qatar forbids the brewing and trafficking in alcohol.<br />

Drunken activities in public or driving under the influence of alcohol is an offence<br />

punishable by imprisonment, a fine or both, and the cancelation of the offender's<br />

driving license in relation to the latter.<br />

Qatar has prohibitions on all pork products.<br />

Qatar forbids individuals from photographing airports, Government Ministry buildings<br />

or defense installations and care should be taken to evade taking photographs that<br />

might constitute an invasion of an individual's privacy.<br />
