UAE labour law gratuity rules

Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 sets how end-of-service gratuity is calculated for employees with at least one year of continuous service.

Figures here are estimates; your employer’s HR records and any special clauses in your contract determine the final payout.

1 to 5 years

21 days of basic salary per year of service.

Beyond 5 years

30 days of basic salary per year for the period after five full years.

Important notes

Gratuity uses basic salary only (no allowances). Total gratuity is capped at two years’ salary. Partial years are pro-rata; unpaid leave days are typically excluded from service.

MOHRE & contracts

MOHRE oversees labour relations. Limited contracts are the current standard in the private sector.

Labour ban

A labour ban may apply if a contract ends early without proper notice—rules depend on your situation and visa type.

Know your end-of-service estimate

Use this as a planning figure alongside MOHRE guidance and your employment contract—final amounts may vary with HR records.
