Gratuity

Last updated

End-of-service gratuity is the lump sum a full-time foreign worker in the UAE private sector receives when the job ends, after at least one year of continuous service. It is 21 days' basic wage for each of the first five years and 30 days' for each year after, capped at two years' wage.

Where you meet it

See the gratuity calculator and the guide to UAE labour rules for contractors. Gratuity is calculated on basic salary, not the full package, and unpaid absence is not counted as service.
