However, speaking to The Arabian Stories, a top Ministry of Manpower official said that the decision to terminate the Omani workforce is a clear violation of the Supreme Committee’s decision. “We have asked the remaining four companies to look into the issue and revoke their decision. This is a clear violation of the Supreme Committee’s decision,” he said.
According to him, an employer has to give three-month notice before ending the services with an Omani employee.
