The rule this page applies
Annual leave accrues by length of service: 0+ years → 30 days. A day of leave is worth one thirtieth of the monthly wage. Article 78, Labour Law (Royal Decree 53/2023). Article 78: at least 30 days of annual leave on full (comprehensive) wage, not to be taken before six months' service; unused balance may be carried over up to 30 days. Article 81 requires the worker to take at least 30 days every two years, allows the employer to postpone leave by up to six months, and lets the employer pay basic wage for untaken days only with the worker's written consent; accrued leave is paid on the full wage if service ends.

Frequently asked questions
- How much annual leave do I get in Oman?
- Article 78, Labour Law (Royal Decree 53/2023). Entitlement: 30 days after 0 years.
- Do weekends and public holidays count differently?
- Yes in most Gulf states — rest-day and public-holiday work usually carries a higher uplift than a normal weekday, and some laws give a compensatory day off instead of cash. The rule field on this page lists the normal-day rate; read the article for the holiday rate.
- Is this based on basic salary or total salary?
- It depends on the country and on what your contract calls 'wage' — each country page labels the basis its labour law uses. Use the monthly figure your payslip shows for that basis.
