Frequently Asked Questions — Oman Labour Law Annual Leave (أسئلة شائعة)
What is the statutory annual leave entitlement in Oman under Royal Decree 53/2023?
Under Article 59 of the New Oman Labour Law (Royal Decree No. 53/2023), every worker who completes at least six continuous months of service with an employer is entitled to fully paid annual leave of not less than thirty (30) working days per year with comprehensive gross remuneration. Official holidays occurring during the leave period are not counted against the 30 days.
Is annual leave pay and leave encashment calculated on basic or gross salary in Oman?
Under Oman Labour Law, annual leave compensation and unutilized leave encashment upon separation must be calculated based on the employee's comprehensive gross wage (الأجر الشامل), which includes the basic salary plus all fixed recurring allowances (such as housing and transportation). This differs from End of Service Gratuity which is calculated strictly on basic wage.
What is the monthly leave accrual rate in Oman?
Because the statutory entitlement is 30 working days for 12 months of service, employees accrue annual leave at the exact rate of 2.50 working days per completed month of service (30 days ÷ 12 months).
How is cash in lieu of unused leave calculated upon termination in Oman?
Upon termination or resignation, the employee is entitled to full cash encashment for any untaken leave balance accrued during their employment. The daily rate is computed using the statutory 30-day divisor:
• Daily Gross Wage = Monthly Gross Wage ÷ 30
• Cash Encashment = Daily Gross Wage × Unused Accrued Leave Days
Is an employer legally obligated to provide an annual flight ticket to expatriate workers in Oman?
Under Article 67 of the Labour Law, the employer is legally obligated to bear the cost of repatriating an expatriate worker to their country of origin upon the conclusion of employment. In addition, standard expatriate employment contracts and corporate bylaws in Oman typically mandate an annual return flight ticket or equivalent cash allowance to the employee's home country upon taking annual vacation.
