What is the end-of-service benefit in Oman and is it changing?

When your job ends in Oman you are entitled to an end-of-service benefit from your employer, based on your wage and years of service. Oman also introduced a Social Protection Law (Royal Decree 52 of 2023) that creates a Social Protection Fund with a savings scheme for expatriate workers, expected to be funded by a monthly contribution, which over time is set to replace the old lump-sum gratuity. Because this system is still being rolled out, check the current mechanism that applies to you. When your job ends, ask your employer in writing for the calculation and payment, and get your release. If payment is refused, file a complaint with the Ministry of Labour.
