Just seven more days to go for e-registration of job contracts in Oman

Muscat: Only seven more days are left for second, third and fourth-grade establishments to register their job contracts via an electronic employment system on the Ministry of Manpower’s website.
The deadline is June 1.
An e-employment contract, as it is called, is a system developed by the ministry for the national workforce to speed the process of employment.
Company representatives and job seekers will not need to visit the ministry to complete the process, but can submit paper work electronically.
“The company won’t need to come to the ministry to sign a contract, as well as bring the job seeker to do so,” a senior Ministry of Manpower official said earlier.
Sent electronically
“When the employer and job seeker agrees on things, such as benefits and wages, the contract will be sent electronically to the job seeker, where he can approve, depending on the case. The contract will then go back to the employer for his approval and, thereafter, to the ministry, where it will be saved in the system,” he explained.
Further, private sector establishments can register contracts and pay fees electronically via the ministry website. An establishment and jobseeker must activate the electronic attestation before the final step can be carried out.
Registration for first, excellent, international and consultant grade job seekers began on March 1.
The ministry stressed that they will not accept, nor receive employment contracts by hand, at any of the ministry outlets after the deadlines have passed.
