Hello everyone, I am a new employee here in Oman. I assumed my work as an English Teachers this month. However, I came to realize that I'm no longer happy with my work and in the environment I am in. I am planning to inform my employer about my plan to resign. But before I put this action, I'd like to ask some questions so as to make myself aware of the consequences of my actions. To wit:
1. If I resign during the probationary period, am I going to pay all related expenditures on my employment e.g. visa, medical, labor card, plane ticket?
2. How many years would be my ban just in case?
3. If in case I got a job in Dubai, am I allowed to fly directly there?
4. If my employer refused to accept my resignation, what should I do?

Thank you very much.

Hi rheymagz,

All of your queries have already been answered across various other topics at various other places, prior.

So you must first take some effort to read through those different discussions to get a fair idea of what you could expect.

In any case, shall try and shall give you some brief responses here :

1. If I resign during the probationary period, am I going to pay all related expenditures on my employment e.g. visa, medical, labor card, plane ticket? - Since the employer has already made a certain amount of investment in bringing you over, with his time, efforts and money, it is only fair that he would expect to be compensated at you premature departure. How much would depend on your sponsor / employer / or as agreed prior in your employment contract.

2. How many years would be my ban just in case? - 2 years. Doubtlessly, your employer would not give you the NOC.

3. If in case I got a job in Dubai, am I allowed to fly directly there? - Yes.

4. If my employer refused to accept my resignation, what should I do? - Go to your embassy and complain. You can also complain at the Ministry of Manpower website.

Thank you for shedding light on this matter, sir. But I got one last question, if I would be banned for 2 years, and the employer refused to give me NOC, does that mean I won't be able to come back here even when the ban imposed upon me is due and served already? Thank you.

One more thing sir, is it a valid reason if I would state that my contention of leaving my job here in Oman is because I'm not happy working here, and that my company back in Riyadh, KSA is willing to hire me again? Would that be plausible to reason out or it will put me to risk? Thank you sir.

2 years visa ban means that you won't be able to work in Oman for 2 years. its self explanatory. After the completion of the 2 year Ban, you'll be eligible to reapply a job and work again. trust this clarifies.

They are not concern with either you're happy or not. Once you leave the job, the 2 year visa ban applies in any condition.

Hi everyone,

If the reason of resignation under probitionary period is not paying the proper payment and not paying the overtime can i claim this after resignation?
Thanks for the reply.

Sumitran

Hi aquarian0206,

Whatever you do, make sure that you recover all your dues before submitting your resignation.

For the moment you give your resignation, your company can well choose not to settle your dues. Unless you choose to get into a protracted legal wrangle.

Hello everyone,
I am a new employee in muscut oman.my question is? I join company two months ago but I am finally desided I am resign the job so please tell us if I am resign the job during the probationary period can company give visa expenses in oman.and what can I do?please reply.

aasishv

If you resign with appropriate notice period even in the probation period  you are safe and no need to compensate any expenses (like visa, air fare etc) from you end.

In your case who had taken the visa expenses?  Is your work permit visa?

Usually company bears the visa cost.

Regards,

Attha
