End-of-service gratuity, encashment of unused annual leave, notice-period pay (if notice wasn't served), and any unpaid salary — minus advances or loans you owe the employer.
On basic salary ÷ 30 per unused leave day, under Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022, Article 19.
Within 14 days of the contract end date — gratuity, final salary, leave and all other dues (Article 53).
Yes — genuine advances or loans owed to the employer can be deducted. Anything else should be questioned.
Yes. Salary you earned but never received is claimed as "unpaid salary" (gross ÷ 30 × unpaid days) and must be included in the settlement, payable within 14 days of your contract end date. Keep your WPS salary records or bank statements as proof of the gap.
Compare your final payslip against each line of the breakdown above — most short payments come from using total salary instead of basic, or from skipping leave encashment. Raise the discrepancy in writing with your employer, and if it stays unresolved you can file a labour complaint with MOHRE.
Confirm the basic salary on your MOHRE contract, apply the 21/30-day formula with a daily rate of basic ÷ 30, and make sure part years are pro-rated and the 2-year cap is applied. Run the same dates through our UAE Gratuity Calculator for a full year-by-year view.
Yes — qualifying overtime must be paid with your final dues. The standard rates are basic salary plus 25% for daytime overtime and plus 50% for night hours (9PM to 4AM), capped at 2 hours per day under Article 19. Keep your approved overtime records to claim it.
Employers sometimes delay payment citing unreturned assets, but the 14-day payment rule in Article 53 still applies to your end-of-service dues. Return company property promptly and in documented condition, and insist the settlement follows the legal timeline.
Employee dues rank as priority claims when a company closes or goes bankrupt — gratuity, unpaid salary and leave encashment are owed before most other creditors. File your claim with MOHRE immediately and keep every contract and payslip as evidence.
It can. Many contracts and company policies include a repatriation ticket when employment ends, particularly for employees recruited from abroad. Check your offer letter and company policy — if it is contractual, add it to your settlement expectations.
For straightforward settlements that match your own calculation, usually not necessary. But if the employer's figure differs materially, deductions look unexplained, or payment passes the 14-day deadline, a quick consultation with a UAE labour lawyer before signing is money well spent.
