Frequently asked questions
Do allowances count toward the end-of-service award in Oman?
It depends on the law: in Oman the wage basis is "basic wage only, excluding allowances". See "Which wage is the award based on?" above for details.
Is the award lower if I resign?
No. The labour law in Oman does not distinguish between resignation and termination when calculating the award — the result is the same either way.
When and how is the award paid?
The gratuity is paid on termination of the employment relationship. Once the savings system under the Social Protection Law is enforced, employers will transition accrued gratuity into it (or settle it directly) — the employer may already settle pre-savings-system rights at the basic wage on the settlement date.
