Qatar: New Incentives and Parental Support in Qatar’s Civil Service Law
Al-Sharq, October 2024: The Qatari Cabinet has approved amendments to Qatar Law No. 15/2016 on Civil Human Resources, aimed at enhancing the work environment, performance evaluation, and work-life balance for government employees.
The draft law will be referred to the Shura Council for further deliberation.
The amendments focus on introducing additional performance-based incentives, linking remuneration and promotions to merit and eligibility criteria, improving recruitment and retention mechanisms, implementing a competency-based performance system, and supporting working parents by promoting family stability.
These measures are designed to boost individual and institutional performance, govern rewards equitably, and achieve a balance between professional and family life for civil servants, aligning with Qatar’s National Vision 2030 and the proposals from various government agencies.
