How Oman's end-of-service benefit is calculated
Under Article 61 of Royal Decree 53/2023, a non-Omani worker's end-of-service benefit is at least one month of final basic salary for every year worked, with part years counted pro-rata. A new end-of-service savings scheme has been postponed to 19 July 2027, so the lump-sum gratuity applies until then.
