Qatar Tribune, 17 October 2023: Qatar’s Labour Ministry has announced it has updated the e-contract platform.

It has updated the authentication of digital employment contract services.

The platform allows private sector employees to verify the contract terms and approve or reject them.

Domestic worker contracts can also be authenticated via the platform without service centers having to be physically attended.

Once the contract authentication process is completed, an automatic contract audit is initiated. The contract authentication service enables an application to be submitted to an establishment via the employer’s portal using the National Authentication System.

The application will then be transferred to the worker for approval via the worker and individual portal.

The contract data will then be verified. It will be available in 11 languages.
