'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 />
