How gratuity in UAE is calculated

The UAE law entitles every worker to receive end-of-service benefits, also known as Gratuity, if they work for a minimum period of one year. When calculating the period of service, days of absence without pay are not included and employers may deduct any amounts owed by the worker from their gratuity payment. UAE Gratuity is calculated based on 21 days’ wage for each year of the first five years of their service, and 30 days’ wage for each additional year.
