Oman Resignation Online: Resign on the Ministry of Labour Site in 7 Steps, the 30 Day Notice Rule and Your Dues (Pakistani Workers)

We read the ministry's resignation and termination service pages on 11 November 2026, and the Oman Labour Law issued by Royal Decree 53/2023. This guide is for Pakistani workers in Oman's private sector who want to leave a job, or whose employer has started a termination.

Resign online on the Ministry of Labour site in 7 steps

The service sits under Services, then Workforce services. Sanad offices, Oman's private service centres, can also file it. No documents are needed and the ministry lists no fee.

1. Sign in on mol.gov.om with your resident card or a phone SIM that supports PKI digital signing.
2. Open "Resignation applications". You will see any resignations you filed before.
3. Press "Add a new resignation request" and fill in the details.
4. Read the terms the system shows and confirm you agree.
5. Choose the resignation date: today, or any day up to 30 days ahead.
6. Save. If the date is today, the request is approved at once and both you and the employer are told.
7. If the date is later, the request is saved, both sides are told, and it becomes approved on that date.

Once approved, you can print the end of employment contract form from the request's details. Keep a copy on your phone.

Notice periods under the Oman Labour Law

The system lets you pick a date up to 30 days away. The law decides how much notice you owe, and it depends on your contract and how you are paid.

Leave without the notice and Article 38 says the side that ended the contract pays the other compensation equal to the notice period, or the part not served, at the final gross wage.

Changing your mind after you resign

You can withdraw a resignation only while it is not yet approved, by choosing "Cancel resignation request". The ministry's page says the cancellation is approved only if the employer agrees, and the employer gets a notice to accept or refuse it.

So do not file a resignation as a bargaining move. If the date is today, it is approved straight away and cannot be cancelled this way.

When the employer ends the contract instead

A separate service, "Termination applications submitted by employer (individuals)", shows every termination request filed against you by companies you worked for. Sign in the same way to see them.

• You can open each request and read the details.
• If the employer asks to cancel its own termination request before it is approved, the cancellation needs your acceptance. You choose accept or reject.
• For approved terminations, you can print the end of employment contract form.

The law gives you time to find work. Article 39 says that during the employer's notice period you may be absent for 10 paid hours a week to look for a new job, and a notice given while you are on leave starts only after the leave ends. If you think the dismissal is unfair, Article 10 gives you 30 days to complain. Our Oman labour complaint guide has the steps.

Money and the ticket home when you leave

Leaving a job does not end what the employer owes you.

• Dues straight away. Article 91 says the employer must pay the wage and all amounts due immediately when the employment ends.
• Gratuity. End-of-service money is due in most cases; our Oman gratuity guide shows the sum and the exceptions.
• Return home. Article 14 says the employer must return a non-Omani worker to his country, or another agreed country, within 60 days after the contract ends.
• A release. The same article says the employer must give you, if you ask, a release from any liability towards him.

Ask for the release in writing before you fly, and keep the printed end of contract form with it. The ministry's call centre number on its website is 80077000.

What does "job seeker" status mean after I resign?

The ministry's page says that once the resignation is approved, your status becomes job seeker, with resignation as the reason.

Article 14 says the employer must return a non-Omani worker home within 60 days of the contract ending.
