Make a plan
“Companies should start strategising and have a plan for recruiting enough Omanis. Otherwise, it’ll end up being an exercise to just hire an enough number of Omanis. One should emphasise on quality as well,” Joshi added.
In mid-February, the ministry had revealed that it had taken action against 199 establishments employing 16,544 people for not hiring Omani nationals.
Labour Code
According to Article 114 of the Labour Code, any employer who does not comply with the prescribed Omanisation rates shall be punished by a fine not less than OMR250 and not more than OMR500 for each Omani worker who is required to be appointed.
The employer shall correct the percentage of Omanisation within six months from the date of discovery of the violation, and double the penalty if the violation is repeated.
