If an employee resigns, are they eligible for gratuity and annual leave?
Dear Sir/Madam,
What happens if an employee resigns after 1 year and 4 months of service?
Are they eligible for gratuity and annual leave?
Dear Questioner,
Calculating the end of service:
A full-time worker who has completed a year or more of continuous service is entitled to an end-of-service reward upon the end of his service.
The days of absence from work without pay are not included in calculating the length of service, and the reward is calculated as follows:
- If the worker works for less than one year, he is not entitled to any end-of-service gratuity.
- If the worker works for less than five years, he is entitled to twenty-one days’ wages for each year of service.
- If the worker works for more than five years, he is entitled to thirty days’ wages for each year in excess of the first five years.
It is stipulated that the total reward does not exceed two years’ wages.
Dear Questioner,
The employee might be eligible for a gratuity since she has worked for more than a year.
They would also be entitled to any accrued unused annual leave days.

Dear Questioner,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding gratuity and annual leave entitlements upon resignation after 1 year and 4 months of service.
According to UAE labor law, an employee who resigns after completing one year of continuous service is eligible for gratuity, which is calculated based on the length of service.
Annual leave entitlements also accrue during this period and should be compensated accordingly upon resignation.
To provide you with specific guidance tailored to your situation, I would need to know more details.
