Fair Remuneration

The right of every worker to receive compensation that is just, equitable, and non-discriminatory for the work performed. This includes wages, salaries, benefits, and other forms of payment. It implies that remuneration should reflect the value of the work and be free from arbitrary differentials based on factors such other than job-related criteria, as enshrined in Article 41 of the Constitution.

The concept of 'fair remuneration' is articulated in the Oman Constitution as a right for citizens engaged in work. While not explicitly defining 'equal pay for equal work' in the granular detail of a labor law, the constitutional provision that no citizen may be forced to work except for public service, for a specific period, and 'for a fair remuneration' establishes a foundational principle for equitable compensation. This implies that compensation should be just and proportionate to the work performed, aligning with broader principles of justice and equality.
