How to calculate gratuity in Saudi Arabia for expatriate workers
The online calculator helps workers find their dues as per Saudi Arabia's labour law
Dubai: If you are an expatriate working in Saudi Arabia’s private sector and are planning to resign or have been terminated, it is crucial to understand the gratuity you are entitled to from your employer.
According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD), which sets labour policies for both public and private sectors, end of service gratuity is a worker’s right. The law mandates that employers pay this gratuity at the end of the employment contract, whether it’s for a fixed term or indefinite period.
To simplify the process of calculating your gratuity, HRSD offers an online end-of-service calculator. This tool helps expatriates determine their benefits according to Saudi labour laws.
