What you can claim
Unpaid salary
every month, in full
End-of-service gratuity
a right after one year of service, resigned or dismissed
Unused annual leave
Notice pay, if you were dismissed without notice
Return air ticket
Overtime and allowances in your contract
Final dues are owed within days of your last working day — not "when the company can."We calculate the exact figure in the format the Ministry and the Committee accept.
How fast this actually is
Day 1
Complaint filed with the Ministry of Labour.
About a week
Mediation. Most employers settle when a lawyer is in the room and the numbers are on the table.
Weeks
If they don't, the Labour Dispute Settlement Committee. Binding. Enforceable.
Court
Only if it gets there. Most cases never do.
- Your first message commits you to nothing. Confidential.
Three things not to do before you talk to us
Don't sign anything.
A settlement, a resignation, a "final receipt." Whatever you sign under pressure is used against you.
Don't leave Qatar.
Leaving before the case is resolved can end it.
Don't wait.
Time limits apply. A claim filed late can be lost completely.
What we do for employees
Calculate exactly what you're owed — salary, gratuity, leave, notice, ticket — in a form the Ministry accepts.
File and attend mediation. Numbers on the table, lawyer in the room. This is where most cases get paid.
Take it to the Committee if they refuse. Binding decision, enforced.
Protect you while it runs — against retaliation, false absconding reports, and pressure to sign.
What we fight for
- every riyal owed
- end-of-service paid
- absconding report cancelled
- your residency protected
For employers
An ex-employee filed against you. The number in the complaint is not the number you owe.
We read the complaint against the contract and the payroll and give you your real exposure in numbers — before mediation, not after.
We settle where it's smart, drafted so it stays settled.
We defend unfounded claims before the Committee — and fix the paperwork so the next dispute doesn't happen.
Terminations, contract reviews and HR compliance: done properly before they become claims.
Why Al Faisal for labour cases
Speed.
Labour cases are lost on delay. We move in days.
We know the Committee.
We've stood in front of it enough to know what it wants and what it ignores.
Both sides.
Acting for employees and employers means we know the other side's file before we see it.
From Faysel Al Mohannadi
Labour disputes are rarely about bad faith. They're about paperwork — a contract that says one thing, a payroll record that says another, a signature obtained on someone's last day. The side that brings the cleaner file to mediation walks out with the better result. Bring us the file before you sign anything.

Trusted by clients
What clients say
- Labour dispute
After I was terminated unfairly, my former employer refused to pay my end of service and two months of back salary. Al Faisal took my case, represented me at the Labour Department, and ensured I received every riyal I was owed.
- Employment defence
We faced a coordinated labor complaint from several former staff members. The firm stepped in, reviewed our HR records, and expertly defended the company's position, leading to the dismissal of the unjustified claims.
- Labour dispute
My company refused to pay my accumulated sales commissions after I resigned. The lawyers filed a case and systematically proved the amounts owed. I received my full entitlement through a court order.
- Corporate employment law
A senior manager left and immediately breached their non-compete agreement by poaching our clients. Al Faisal secured an injunction swiftly, protecting our business interests.
- Civil dispute
I contacted Al Faisal after hours expecting an automated reply, but I spoke directly to a lawyer within 20 minutes. They were incredibly straightforward about my case. They told me exactly what I was up against, including some harsh realities I didn't want to hear at the time, but it saved me months of false hope.
- Commercial litigation
I walked into my first consultation completely overwhelmed by a commercial dispute. The team listened, took notes, and a few days later provided a clear written legal opinion. It outlined my exact risks and options. Because of that clarity, we knew exactly what steps to take next and won the claim.
- Regulatory compliance
We brought Al Faisal in to handle a complex regulatory issue. From day one, the scope of work and their fees were outlined clearly in writing, with no hidden surprises. Since they resolved the matter, our operations have run smoothly and we have retained them for all our corporate counsel.
- General consultation
I was intimidated by the legal process, but the team at Al Faisal explained every step in plain language. They made sure I understood my rights and didn't make any false promises. Truly professional from start to finish.
- Civil litigation
What stood out most was their communication. I never had to chase them for an update. They called me after every hearing and patiently answered all my questions.
Every case is different. Past results don't guarantee yours.
Questions we get every day
The Ministry charges no filing fee. What you pay a lawyer for is the right calculation, a complaint drafted correctly, and someone beside you at mediation and the Committee — which is where the money is won or lost.
Mediation in days, the Committee in weeks. Court only if it gets there. Most cases don't.
Retaliation is prohibited. It still happens. Responding to it fast is part of the case.
Possibly. It depends on timing and what you signed. Message us before you assume it's lost.
Send us the complaint and the contract. You'll have your real exposure and a settlement range before the Committee sets one for you.
No. Tell us what happened, and we'll tell you the next step and what a consultation covers. Nothing is agreed until you choose.
A fixed fee, which we tell you before you book, with a written legal opinion, for the whole session: in person at our office in Al Sadd, Doha, on video or by phone. If you then instruct us, the case fee is agreed in writing before any work starts.
That's exactly what the first message is for. Tell us what happened, and we'll tell you plainly whether it's worth taking further.
Faysel answers WhatsApp messages himself. From the first meeting, you know who is handling your matter and how to reach them.
Yes, in Arabic or English. Tell us what happened, when, and what papers you have.
If the matter is in Qatar, yes. We meet on video or by phone, and explain what's needed for us to act for you from abroad.
No, video is enough. If you'd rather meet in person, our office in Al Sadd, Doha is open to you.
Yes. Everything you tell us is confidential under the Advocacy Law. It stays between us.
Tell me what happened. I'll say plainly where you stand.
