A: Under Omani labor law, gratuity is typically calculated for the entire service period without a maximum limit, but specific conditions may apply.
Q4: When is gratuity payable?
A: Gratuity is payable upon termination of employment, whether due to resignation, end of contract, or employer-initiated termination.
Q5: Are there different rates for different service periods?
A: The standard rate is 15 days per year for the first 3 years, and 30 days per year thereafter, but this calculator uses the basic 15-day rate for simplicity.
