Hiring in Qatar

Located on a peninsula that connects to neighbour and key trading partner Saudi Arabia, Qatar has become a major player on the world’s stage thanks to hosting the FIFA world cup. However, Qatar is equally famous for its oil and gas exports, which have made it one of the richest countries on earth despite its small size and relatively small population.

Qatar’s economy is dominated by oil and natural gas, accounting for up to 90% of total exports. Qatar also invests heavily in infrastructure projects at home using its vast wealth and has stakes in many major buildings, projects and businesses across the world.

Workers in Qatar pay no income tax and have extensive access to social welfare paid for by the state. Qatari’s enjoy favourable working conditions compared to the migrant workers that make up 86% of Qatar’s population and all companies must have a Qatari owner with at least a 51% stake.

Employment laws are extensive, but these rarely extend to low-income workers, usually migrants from South Asia. Qatar has faced criticism for poor safety and employment practices for non-Qataris, and organisations wishing to explore payroll opportunities in Qatar should use an expert provider to avoid common issues relating to this.
