- Labour Law, Article 115 bis 6
- Runs from
- From the decision if it was given in your presence; from the day after you were notified if it was given in your absence.
If the last day falls on a Friday, a Saturday or an official holiday, the period runs to the next working day (Civil and Commercial Procedure Law, Article 13; Criminal Procedure Code, Article 404; QFC Court Rules, Article 14.4). The calculator applies that for the weekend and never for public holidays, which it does not know, so the date it shows can be earlier than the legal last day; it is never later.
General information about the periods in Qatari law, not advice on your case. A missed deadline is rarely recoverable: confirm yours with a lawyer early.
