WRITTEN WARNING (إنذار كتابي)
Employee: Position:
A sanction may only be imposed after the Employee has been notified in writing of the alleged violation and given the opportunity to explain — standard practice under the employer's MOL-approved internal work regulations and disciplinary penalty schedule (اللائحة الداخلية ولائحة الجزاءات); a documented chain of warnings is also the foundation for a defensible dismissal under Article 61 of the Qatar Labor Law (Law No. 14 of 2004).

This is a boilerplate template, not legal advice. It is written under the Qatar Labor Law (Law No. 14 of 2004, as amended by the kafala-reform Laws No. 17, 18 and 19 of 2020 and by Law No. 9 of 2026) and related regulations and authorities (Ministry of Labour — MOL, formerly MADLSA/ADLSA; MOCI; MOPH; Baladiya municipalities; Qatar Tourism; PDPPL/NDPO-NCSA; the Wage Protection System) as in effect in July 2026 — these regulations and digital platforms change frequently; verify against the current text before use. Have this template reviewed by a Qatar-qualified lawyer and, for HR documents, checked against your own MOL/MADLSA-approved internal work regulation (اللائحة الداخلية) before use.
