Muscat: The Manpower Ministry has made it mandatory for employers in private sector to give annual increment of three per cent of the basic salary to Omani employees.
Shaikh Abdullah Bin Nasser Al Bakri, Manpower Minister, has issued a decision under which private sector employees must get annual increment of three per cent of the basic salary on January 1 each year.
Recently, some companies have lowered salaries and overtime calculations following amendments in the Omani Labour Law.
Keeping that in mind, a clause has been included in the ministerial order to safeguard better terms offered to employees by their employers in the previously agreed contracts.
