            Sultani Decree 72/91 publicized The Social Security in Oman, along with its supported amendments which delivered to the public on 1^st July 1992. Among these amendments, Article f from the Social Security Law proposes that a civic authority would be formulated and named with Public Authority for Social Insurance or PASI. PASI facilitated with financial and governmental liberation. The most important role of PASI is that, this authority in charge and control for the Social Security Law’s application.

        Speaking about the Social Security Law, it was originated with a purpose to provide the security against the disability, old age, work-related grievance and any disease or death. For this reason, the Social Security Law is ensuring the social stability intended for the protected along with their dependents as well.

This action could be done by every company through the Internet. Moreover, in Article 16, which could be found in the Social Security Law, there is a requirement for the employer to embark on payment of the complete social security contributions to PASI.

For instance, if the employers’ donation is equal or might above than  to be donated by the employer, then this scenario is considered to be acceptable, and the employer would be excused to give contributions to PASI in aid of its employees. Conversely, in case if it drops below than what is fixed by the Social Security Law, then it would be quite essential to note here that the company might be anticipated as a breakthrough the Omani Labor Law as well as breaching the Social Security Law.

Article 17 of the Social Security Law mentions that the employer who is issue to the law, but does not give the payment for the contribution rendering to real salaries of the workers, or does not give the payment for the insurance support for some or all of his workers, or does not give the payment for the end of service profits or rejects or suspensions to give the payment for inline contribution at the time, then the employer would be responsible to recompense to PASI an extra amount valued at  (omanlawblog.curtis.com, 2016).

        The added penalty under Article 74 mentions that in case if the employer breaches several requirements of the Social Security Law, then the employer would be disciplined to pay a fine of minimum  and not above than , and the punishment limits would be twofold if any repetition of the breach occurs, and the fine would also be multiplied rendering to the amount of the workers with reverence to whom the employer obligates those violations. For that reason, it is essential for any company to meet the terms of PASI procedures. In case if the company has reviewed the employee’s wage, then it is the obligation of the company to inform PASI regarding the new wage and also embark on to give the payment for complete contribution to PASI consequently (omanlawblog.curtis.com, 2016).
