Dawmo 2026.9 is out — rendered payslips, a public API and calendar feeds. See what changed
What the Qatar pack covers, what Dawmo does about each part of it, and the rules we are willing to state in writing, each with its source and the month it was last checked.
Rules change. A pack version does not lie about which ones were in force when a payroll ran.
Wage protection
The Wage Protection System file through the labour ministry
Social insurance
Pension for nationals; expatriates generally outside the scheme
End of service
End-of-service gratuity per the labour law
Nationalisation
Qatarization targets in some sectors
Calendar & working week
Friday–Saturday weekend; Friday prayer timing affects shift design

This describes how Dawmo handles these rules. It is not legal advice and does not replace your own advisers, particularly where your contracts, entity structure or sector change the answer.
Bring last month’s payroll and we will run it through Dawmo on the call, with your own country pack in force.
