Dear freinds: ( I have been an active member in the general sablah, but this is my first contribution in this section; I hope i be part of it)

Does the labour law effects you?
Are you happy with the labour law which was established in the seventies when around 1% of Omanis were affected by it?
or is it time it gets real!?

what bothers you about it?

Take it easy, this is only the internet! feel free, coz life is not!

What I do not like about it :
Salary:
1) wages/salary:

a) low minimum set.
b) no policy on salary increment after certain years.
c) no policy on increment of Housing, transport & food allowances after years of work.

2)leaves:

a) short annual leaves(4 weeks) for all levels junior & senior positions and no policy for increment of leave after certain years (never gets increased!!)
b) no marriage leave & no new born leave for fathers at all.
c) no family condolence/mourning leave more than a day.

3) The worst and un secure retirement programme. (Social Security?????)

Many important details are left up to the company to decide whether to grant or take from Omani employees.

I am so much frustrated my self now for working for a French oil company in a senior post for 6 yeras.
The goverment paid so much money in educating us overseas and yet allowing companies to pay us low wages.

Hope you share with me your feelings in working with a company using the Labour Law as a maximum.
