Muscat: Oman’s Ministry of Labour has clarified reports surrounding the termination of services of 125 employees at Omani Qatari Telecommunications Company (Ooredoo), following widespread discussion on social media. The Ministry said it coordinated with the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority to engage directly with the company’s management to review the situation.
According to the clarification, Ooredoo offered affected employees the option to voluntarily resign in exchange for receiving their full salary for a period of 24 months. A total of 114 employees accepted the offer, while 11 employees chose not to proceed under the proposed terms.
In response, the Ministry summoned the company’s management, its labour union, and the General Federation of Workers of Oman to discuss the matter and work toward a mutually acceptable resolution. The Ministry emphasised that discussions are ongoing to ensure compliance with labour regulations and to protect workers’ rights through dialogue and negotiated outcomes.
