Sample Solution

Unusually, rather than through an amendment to the Oman Labour Law (promulgated by Royal Decree 35/2003 as amended) the redundancy procedure has been introduced through the Job Security Systems Law (promulgated by Royal Decree 82/2020) and so it can be easily missed by many employers.The Job Security Systems Law is primarily concerned with the establishment and administration of an unemployment benefit fund (from 1 January 2021) for eligible Omani nationals who have lost employment through redundancy (rather than by resignation or termination for disciplinary reasons).
