Oman’s Labour Ministry received over 24,000 complaints in 2022
A member of the Wages Protection Programme team at the Ministry of Labour, Professor Saif bin Salem Al Zaabi, revealed that in the year 2022, the number of complaints submitted to the Ministry of Labour regarding workers in the private sector amounted to more than 24,000. Al Zaabi explained to the "With the Youth" programme that more than 13,500 complaints were directly related to wages, i.e. more than 57%. He said that it is clear why the Ministry of Labour is adopting the wage protection system, which, with its full implementation, will work to solve such problems without the worker resorting to submitting a complaint related to wages to the Ministry of Labour. Because the Ministry, through the Wage Protection System, will be informed directly and quickly of any violation by the employer regarding the late payment of the wages of his workers through the Wage Protection System.
