Oman unfair dismissal compensation calculator
If a court finds that a dismissal was arbitrary or against the law, it orders the worker back to work or orders the employer to pay compensation.
Enter the last total wage and the number of months you expect to see the compensation and its lower and upper limits.
How it's calculated
- Compensation is at least 3 months of wages and at most 12 months, based on the last total wage.
- The court sets the number taking into account the worker's situation and length of service.
- The end-of-service gratuity, notice pay and insurance contributions up to the final ruling are added on top.
An example
For a worker whose last total wage was OMR 600, compensation is between OMR 1,800 and OMR 7,200, and OMR 3,600 if the court sets six months.
