Domestic workers coming to Qatar will soon have their work hours, tasks, leave and overtime entitlements clearly defined in their labour contracts, an official at the ILO Project Office in Qatar has said.
A new version of the standard employment contract for domestic workers that complements Law No. 15 of 2017 was recently introduced by the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labour and Social Affairs (ADLSA), said Alix Nasri, Technical Specialist, Labour migration and employment at ILO Doha Office. It looks at bringing the rights of domestic workers on par with workers covered by the Qatar labour law, Nasri said.
The new version will reduce miscommunication in employment relationships as it accounts for full transparency of tasks, both for the employers and the domestic workers.
