About the Event
Oman's New Labour Law
On 25 July 2023, Oman announced a new labour law for workers in the private sector (Royal Decree 53/2023), repealing the Royal Decree 35/2003 as amended (the Old Labour Law) and introducing new regulations on labour strikes, permission for migrant workers involved in labour disputes to remain in the country, and other significant changes. The new law follows a series of reforms made this year, including the implementation of the Wage Protection System, a new social security law and the rollout of a mandatory Health Insurance Scheme.
We would like to thank ALC Lawyers & Counsels (an active Supplier on JSRS) for partnering with us in hosting this orientation webinar on Oman’s New Labour Law to focus on some of the key changes introduced.
