Labour law: What if you come late to work in Oman?

The Ministry of Labour has made it mandatory for employers with 25 or more workers to create a formal list of penalties for various infractions. This list must be approved by the relevant authorities and posted in the workplace in both Arabic and English. Penalties for being late to work, leaving work early, or being absent without permission are outlined in the decision. The penalties increase in severity for repeated offenses, ranging from written warnings to deductions in wages and even days off. It is important for employers to follow these guidelines to ensure fair and consistent disciplinary measures in the workplace.
