QATAR— Qatar’s Shura Council (Advisory Council) raised objections to several articles in a draft sponsorship law on Monday, and referred the draft law back to the Council’s internal and foreign affairs committee.
The law which regulates entry and exit of migrant workers was returned to the committee for further study according to news reports.
One of the proposed articles stipulates that if an expatriate worker deliberately creates problems for the employer and does not comply with the contract to force the latter to end the contract or transfer his sponsorship to another employer, he should not be allowed to change jobs even if he runs away. “On the contrary, as compensation, he should be forced to work with the employer for double the period specified in the contract.”
