Is the notice period calculated based on total salary or basic salary?

Thank you for reaching out regarding your query about the notice period and unused annual leave.

To address your question:

- Notice Period:

In the UAE, the notice period is typically calculated based on the total salary, which includes both the basic salary and allowances, as per the employment contract and UAE Labour Law.

- Unused Annual Leave After Termination:

Any unused annual leave is also calculated based on the total salary, including allowances, and should be compensated accordingly at the time of settlement.

Each case may vary depending on the specific terms of the employment contract and the circumstances of termination. I’d be happy to provide more detailed advice and assist you further with this matter.

Please feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp or phone to discuss your situation in more detail.

In the UAE, both the notice period and the unused annual leave allowance are calculated on the basis of the gross salary, which includes the basic salary and all allowances due.

1. Notice period:

When an employment contract is terminated, whether by the employee or the employer, the party terminating the contract is required to give a notice period to the other party.

During this period, the employee continues to perform his duties and receives his full salary, i.e. the gross salary.

2. Unused annual leave allowance:

If an employee’s service ends and he has a balance of unused annual leave, he is entitled to a cash allowance for these leaves. This allowance is calculated based on the employee’s gross salary, including the basic salary and allowances.
