Parental Leave in Oman

To support female employees in Oman, the government allows them to take a total of 50 days of paid leave, which they can use three times during their service period in the same company. This initiative aims to promote women's employment and welfare, and it allows them to take the necessary time off for childbirth, maternity, or other personal reasons without the fear of losing their jobs or income.
