What Is End of Service Gratuity in Oman?
End of service gratuity is a lump-sum payment your employer must pay when your employment ends. It rewards you for your years of service and is paid on top of your final salary and unused annual leave.
The current rules come from the Oman Labour Law issued by Royal Decree 53/2023, which replaced the previous law in July 2023. Gratuity applies to non-Omani workers. Omani nationals are covered by the social insurance system instead.

Important Rules to Know
- Resigning doesn't reduce gratuity. You receive the full amount whether you resign or your contract ends.
- Article 40 dismissal. An employer can dismiss without notice and withhold gratuity only for the specific reasons listed in Article 40, such as forged documents or more than 7 consecutive days of unexcused absence.
- Leaving without notice. You keep your gratuity if you leave because your employer didn't pay wages for more than two months in a row, deceived you at hiring, or assaulted you (Article 41).
- Payment deadline. Gratuity is due when employment ends. If you resign, your dues must be paid within 7 days of your departure.
The New Savings System for Expats
Oman's Social Protection Law will replace end of service gratuity for non-Omani workers with a savings system run by the Social Protection Fund. Employers will pay 9% of the worker's basic salary into the fund each month.

How is end of service gratuity calculated in Oman?
For contracts signed under the new Labour Law (Royal Decree 53/2023), gratuity is at least one month of your last basic salary for each year of service. Contracts signed under the previous law get 15 days' salary for each of the first three years and one month for each year after that.
Do I get gratuity if I resign in Oman?
Yes. Oman Labour Law does not reduce gratuity when an employee resigns. You lose it only if you are dismissed without notice for one of the reasons listed in Article 40.
Is Oman gratuity calculated on basic or gross salary?
On your last basic salary. Allowances such as housing and transport are not included.
Is gratuity paid for partial years in Oman?
Gratuity is generally calculated pro-rata for part of a year. The Ministry's wording refers to completed years, so check with your employer if you have less than one year of service.
Does the new savings system replace gratuity in Oman?
For non-Omani workers, the Social Protection Fund savings system will replace gratuity for service after it starts, with employers paying 9% of basic salary each month. It must start by 19 July 2027 at the latest. Gratuity earned before the start date is still owed.
