Oman’s 2025 salary law: What every employer needs to do before the September deadline

Oman’s Ministry of Labour mandates employers to utilize the Wage Protection System (WPS) for salary payments, ensuring transparency and timely compensation. Starting September 2025, 75% of the workforce must be paid via WPS, increasing to 90% by November. This initiative, enforced through Ministerial Resolution No. 729/2024, aims to protect workers’ rights and enhance labour market oversight, with penalties for non-compliance.
