A new Labour Law is being worked on and will be forwarded by the Ministry of Manpower for a review by Majlis A’Shura ‘soon’.
A senior Shura member said it will seek to increase labour rights while balancing business interests. “It’s not only for the employee, but also business owners,” Mohammed al Busaidi, the Bausher representative in the Majlia A’Shura told the media.
Busaidi said he expects to see the new law “very soon”.
The Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI) on Monday held a workshop to better educate company representatives on the current Labour Law.
Sheikh Mohammed al Ansi, chairman of OCCI’s human resource and labour market committee, said the workshop was a chance to educate human resource managers about the current law before the new one is issued.
“When your people, your staff are informed about the law, and each one knows what he has to take or give, there will more stability in the organization,” he said.
