Ministry issues decision on forming Joint Labor Committees

Doha: The Ministry of Administrative Development, Labor and Social Affairs announced the issuance of ministerial decision No. 21 of 2019 on “Joint Labor Committees” within establishments subject to the provisions of the Labor Law.

The establishing of these committees will play an important role in creating an environment conducive to production, which will bring many benefits to the Qatari labor market, and contribute significantly to raising the level of work and thus increasing production within companies, especially big companies with large numbers of workers.

The joint committees will work to strengthen the atmosphere of cooperation, improve working relationships and increase organisational efficiency within companies, as well as the expected role of addressing complaints internally without resorting to other mechanisms.

Moreover, the joint committees will play an important role in the awareness raising process and the delivery of messages and guidance to workers in companies and enterprises.
