Before you compute the gratuity you need to understand the reason for termination of your contract whether it is voluntary or involuntary as the calculation of the gratuity differ in both the cases.


To calculate gratuity, you need to know two things.

To determine your daily basic wage, multiply your monthly basic wage by 30 (for each day of the month).

2. How long have you been employed by this company?

If you have worked for a company for five years, you are entitled to 21 days of basic pay for each year of service, per Article 51(2) of the UAE Labour Law.

  • a salary of 21 days is paid for the first five years of employment;
  • a salary of 30 days is paid for each year beyond that.

How can you Calculate your daily basic wage?

Check your employment contract to determine your basic compensation if you are a full-time employee who receives payment every month. Multiply that amount by thirty. You’ll receive your daily minimum wage in this way.

  7. Mr. Deepak, I would like to share my situation in my company here in Abu Dhabi, it will be highly appreciated if you can comment on these:

    I am working as a procurement officer in a contracting company from March 26, 2016 until May 2018. I went on an annual vacation for one month, but I exceeded fifteen (15) days. Now as I returned to work our HR manager initiated a memorandum informing me that the excess of fifteen (15) days absent will be deducted from my gratuity.

    Is there any legal basis for such deduction on my gratuity as soon as my contract expires?
    Is the company legally allowed to do such deductions?

    Your opinion and comment would be of great help to me.

    Thank you very much in advance…

  20. Hi,
    i joined in an organisation before 2 month with the unlimited contract. now the management decided to close the company and they have given the 1 month notice to all employees including me.
    what all the benefits should i get from the company ?

  21. Hi, almost been 6 years in the company from 2011 until now. First contract issued was Unlimited (3 years) from 2011-2014, then second contract issued was limited (3 years) from 2014-2017. Should the gratuity be computed separately as per contract? Please advise.

    1. Gratuity will be calculated on the basis of latest contract.
      If it is beneficial to you, please request HR to calculate as per contract types separately.
      However, I do not see much difference.

      1. Thanks Deepak for your answer, but if calculation is based on latest contract then I am eligible to received as per computation illustrated on “Resignation with service of more than 5 years of service”. However, my 2nd contract (limited contract) have higher basic salary than my first contract (unlimited contract). So I guessed it should be computed separately?

  22. i just want to know what is the basis for what they say “date joined the company” is it from the very first day he joined the company or when the passport got a visa stamp. My employer is insisting that annual leave shoud be base on the date the passport was stamp for visa.. Please help. Thanks

  25. You must complain about this to MOL/MOHRE.
    gratuity is the right of every employee. Leave salary must be paid.
    Unless they prove that there has been fraud and MOL has confirmed this, they can not deduction salary.
    Article 120 may be applied if the company is correct.

  64. Hi,

    I’ve been employed in my freezone company under a limited contract for 1 year and 2 months now (my contract is for 3 years). I am thinking of resigning but I’m still confused as to what the consequences are. I have read that if I, the employee, terminate the contract I would be liable to pay half of 3 month’s salary. But previously there’s a case in our company that one of the employees resigned but he did not pay the employer, instead he is given compensation equivalent to his unused leave credits.
    I’ve been looking for specific cases online regarding terminating a limited contract under a freezone company but is unable to find one.
    Could you please help me out in clarifying this case of mine? Thanks in advance.

  69. Hi Deepak,

    One question please: Are there 10 or 11 days of national holidays in UAE?

    I found these in the labor law:

    Article 74 –
    The worker shall be entitled to an official leave with full payment in the following occasions :
    a – New Year’s Day ( Hejir ) – One day .
    b – New Year’s Day ( Gregorian ) – One day .
    c – Eid al Fitr – Two days .
    d – Eid al Adha and Arafat Day – Three days .
    e – Prophet Mohammed Birthday Anniversary – One day .
    f – Isra and Mi’raj – One day .
    g – National Day – One day .

    These are 10 days but everybody is telling me that there is on more day for martyrs that fell lately. Is that correct?

    Thank you and best regards.

    Emporio.

      A notice period, or any amount due in lieu of the notice period in the case of an unlimited contract.
      In the case of an unlimited contract, compensation for unreasonable dismissal if the contract was terminated by the employer for unreasonable cause.
      In the case of a limited contract, compensation equivalent to the period until the end of the contract, or three month’s wages, whichever is shorter.
      Payments equivalent to the balance of unutilised leave or any part thereof.
      Payments for overtime or any balance of wages due and not yet paid.
      End of service gratuity calculated on the duration of the employment.
      Repatriation expenses as per the Law or the employment contact, subject to the employee not being in violation or in breach of either the Law or the employment contract.

    1. Dear,
      If you finished 5 years complete, you can get 21 days (from your basic salary) for each year (Eg:- 21* 5 years = 105 Days).
      1200 *12 / 365 = 4,142/- Dhs
      You can complaint against that company for air ticket
      No need to worry for anything (In UAE Labour Court) everything is easy.

    if employee total working years is 3.4 yrs ( 18-11-2012 to 09-04-2016) and his basic salary AED 2,100.

    why wouldn’t calculate like >13<5 9 days now total days 72 and

    now total Gratuity amount 5,022.50 ?????

    kindly confirm whether the above statement right or wrong….

    1. error correction : 1 to 3 years 63 days and 3 to 5 years 7 days. so total days 72..

  92. I am in labour supply company for unlimited contract and worked for their client for 600 days(DOJ -July 10, 2016). Company informed me that the client had stopped the service w.e.f Feb 29, 2016 and terminated the service. In this view how the gratuity is calculated? Here, The company terminated the service because of their client. This was applicable all the employees who worked for their client.
    Company calculated that the allowed gratuity only for 12 days. Is this correct as per the UAE labour law?

  104. Dear Mr Deepak. Thank you very much for this excellent piece. I have one question which I hope you can help to clarify. The article seems to refer only to employees working for companies under the purview of the MOL Does the law apply equally to foreign employees working for any government department or Ministry? Your clarification will be very much appreciated.

  105. Hi Mr. Deepak,
    Is the employer entitled to pay 3 months salary in case he terminates the staffs who completed only 6 months under unlimited contract?

  106. Dear Deepak,

    Thanks for this article.In this article you solve maximum issues which we face in UAE.

  107. Your Illustration:

    Basic salary = AED 10,000 per month
    Joining date = 01-01-2005
    End date = 31-03-2011
    Total number of days worked (31-03-2011-01-01-2005+1)= 1916 days ==Hi Sir, How did you calculate this one
    Total number of years he worked=1916/365= 5.25
    21 days’ Basic salary = 328.76*21= AED 6,904.1
    30 days basic salary=328.76*30= AED 9,863.01
    Wages per day = AED 10,000*12/365= 328.76
    Total gratuity=21*328.76*5=34,520.55+(1,916/365-5)*30*328.76=2,459.00=36,979.5

    Sir can you check our calculation in our office: we have the same formula but the total was different, can you pls. explain to me this one ==Total number of days worked (31-03-2011-01-01-2005+1)= 1916 days because in our calculation the total days work is 2281
    and this one also ::Total gratuity=21*328.76*5=34,520.55+(1,916/365-5)*30*328.76=2,459.00=36,979.5

    Our Calculation:
    4.) Gratuity more than 5years
    Basic Salary 10,000.00
    joining date 01-01-05
    end date 31-03-11
    total nos. of days work 2281.00
    total nos. of years work 6.25
    21 days basic salary 6,904.11
    30 days basic salary 9,863.01
    wages / day 328.77
    Gratuity 43,745.21 (10,000 X 21 X 6.25 /30)

    Your Total Gratuity is 36,979.5 but in our calculation is 43,745.21 can you pls. explain to me briefly so that i know the correct calculation of gratuity for 5 years and onwards. Thank you.
