End-of-service benefits and final-settlement dispute in the UAE

How we help with end-of-service benefits and final-settlement dispute

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers employment dates and contract, wage history, leave record, termination or resignation papers and employer's calculation. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• Which salary and payment deadline apply to UAE end-of-service gratuity?

  For foreign full-time workers under the ordinary federal scheme, eligibility starts after one continuous year. Gratuity uses the last basic salary: 21 days per year for the first five years and 30 days per later year, with a two-year wage cap. Outstanding wages and entitlements are due within 14 days of termination. Check unpaid absence, lawful deductions, different work models and any alternative savings scheme before calculating; citizens' pension rules are different. Identify service dates, the applicable pay basis, unpaid leave or interruptions, the reason employment ended and sums already received. Separate end-of-service benefits from salary, leave and other items. Do not apply a calculator without confirming its jurisdiction and assumptions.
