According to the MoL's Statistical Bulletin, the Labour Inspection Department conducted intensive inspection campaigns last month to monitor establishments' compliance with laws and ministerial decisions concerned with regulating the labour market in Qatar.

The campaigns resulted in 4,262 inspection visits in various regions, and resulted in the detection of 559 violations and a recommendation to ban 39 establishments, while the number of notices to rectify violations issued to companies amounted to 525.

For labour complaints, the bulletin showed that the Department of Labour Relations received, through the unified platform, 2,068 complaints from workers against their establishments, of which 318 complaints were settled, 20 were referred and about 1,730 remained under procedure.
