Find your employer of record in Oman

The labor law does not establish more common benefits for the citizens of Oman

By using contractor management services, you can obtain a visa for foreigners who must enter the country. In addition, Oman offers various types of visas, which include tourist visas, employment visas, and relative/friend visit visas. They also grant residence/family reunion visas, investor resident visas, student resident visas, and transit visas.

Likewise, these visas can be single, double, or multiple entries for 90-day visas with 180-day intervals. Thus, single tickets are for a single ticket, double tickets for only two tickets, and multiple tickets for consecutive visits. In any case, you can also manage these visas with the Employer of Record in Oman.

In Oman, the standard VAT rate is 5.00%.

Termination Process

Manage termination through the Employer of Record in Oman, which varies depending on the work contract and current collective agreement. Also, this process depends on the type of contract and the reason for termination. Besides, employers must provide a valid reason, a notice period, and an end-of-service gratuity.

However, the Labour Law, in article 40, establishes the circumstances of serious misconduct for the dismissal of an employee. In this case, the employer can terminate the contract without prior notice and without having to pay a bonus. Therefore, an employer cannot terminate the contract of the employee without good cause.

Notice Period

The notice period must be at least one month if the employee receives his salary monthly. However, for other employees, the notice period is 15 days but a different period may be agreed upon in the contract. With a Professional Employee Organization, you can manage and notify these notice periods in writing.

Severance Pay

In Oman, severance pay must be paid by the employer based on the years of service of each employee:

• 15 calendar days of salary for each year of service for the first 3 years of employment.
• 30 calendar days of salary for each year of service after the first 3.

Probation Period

Employment contracts and collective agreements define trial periods but must not exceed 3 months.
