Labour Law and Omanisation — Oman
Oman's Labour Law (Royal Decree 35/2003 and amendments) governs employment contracts, working conditions, and termination. Omanisation quotas require private sector employers to maintain minimum percentages of Omani national employees by sector.
Ministry of Labour
Oman's Ministry of Labour administers labour regulations, Omanisation quotas, work permit approvals, and the Tashgheel employment programme. It is the primary institutional vehicle for Vision 2040's labour market priority.
Tashgheel: The National Employment Programme
Tashgheel is Oman's national employment programme targeting Omani private sector job creation — addressing the critical gap between Omani graduates and private sector employer needs through training, matching, and incentive reforms.
Tawteen Platform
Tawteen is Oman's national digital job matching platform, launched in 2024, directly connecting Omani job seekers with private sector vacancies — a digital infrastructure response to the Omanisation gap.
