Electronic absconding worker notification system in Oman

Muscat: Implementation of a notification system for absconding workers will be started by Ministry of Manpower after Tuesday.
The system will be mandatory with effect from January 2017 in Governorate of Muscat and in February 2017 for the remainder governorates.
The system is part of the e-transformation programmes for labour welfare.
It is also a part of the e-government transformation plan, which aims at simplifying and facilitating services rendered to the public.
With this system, employers can submit notifications about absconding labourers and pay the value of the ticket electronically.
They may also cancel the notification, redeem the value of the ticket and trace progress of the application.
The service enables expatriates to receive SMS and email when the employer files absconding application.
They may also inquire about absconding notifications filed against them, review the details of the notification and submit grievances against them.
