a right after one year of service, resigned or dismissed
Unused annual leave

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.

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.

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.
The consultation has one fixed fee, shown before you confirm a booking. If we take your case, the full fee is agreed in writing before we start.
Your claim has a deadline. Your employer knows it.
Send your contract and your situation — text or voice note, any language. Know your next step within the hour.
