Under Oman Labour Law Royal Decree No. 53\/2023, a structured and phased mechanism has been established for resolving disputes between workers and employers, aimed at ensuring justice, transparency, and timely resolution.<\/p>\n

At the first stage, an internal grievance redressal system is mandatory at the institutional level. Under Article 8, establishments employing 50 or more workers are required to maintain a formal and approved complaints mechanism.<\/p>\n

Through this system, employees may submit complaints directly or through a representative, allowing disputes to be addressed internally before legal proceedings become necessary.<\/p>\n

If a matter cannot be resolved within the institution, the process moves to the administrative and judicial stage. Article 9 states that no labour case may be taken directly to court unless it has first been referred to the relevant department of the ministry for amicable settlement.<\/p>\n

The concerned authority is required to attempt reconciliation within a maximum period of 30 days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
