Q: Hi there, If you could please let me know how is End of Service gratuity calculated for resigning employee on unlimited employment contract in Dubai?

Q: Hi I've recently resigned from the company I worked at 4 yrs and 9 months. I submitted my resignation on 16th of Oct, and now the company informed me they are going to terminate me for my poor performance. It's a semi-government company and I'm having 2 months' notice period with last working day on 15 Dec. Contract type- unlimited. Am I entitled to receive my end of service benefits...etc?

Q: I am working as a Nurse for limited-term contract and this is my second contract of limited-term which I completed one year on the second contract. I submitted my resignation with one month notice and my employer is not accepting my resignation. What are the consequences in this situation?

Q: Hi Sir/Madam, I am working with a shipping survey company for the last 3 years. I got an offer from another company so I gave a resignation letter and now working the notice period. I want to know the end-of-service benefits. Kindly advise me. Visa type: unlimited. Date of joining: 18.06.2018. Last date of notice: 29.07.2021. Basic salary: AED 1600.

Q: I started my career 4 years back in a Dubai mainland company for AED 4500 (3500 basic and AED 1000 allowance as per the labor contract). After one year, they paid additional AED 500 (Total salary 5000) for housing allowance. On the 2nd year at the time of renewal, they increased my salary AED 2000 (Total salary 7000). On the third year, they increased AED 3000 on my salary and AED 1000 as vehicle allowance (total salary 10000 + 1000 vehicle allowance). A net of AED 11000 was reflected in my bank every month as salary. How much is the settlement I can claim as leave salary and end of service benefits as in the labor contract it's still showing the initial joining salary? They haven't updated the increment I received on each year on the labor system/contract.

Q: Good day, I worked for a semi-government organization for a total of 5 years. I left the company in May this year. Upon leaving, I received 120k (approximately) as gratuity. In each of the 5 years, my salary was stated as AED65k in the 1-year contracts I had with the company. There was no breakdown of my salary, allowances, etc. In my last contract, 2021 to 2022, a new clause appeared stating that only 40 % of the AED65k would be a gratuity. Could you please advise if I should be entitled to the whole AED65k for each one of the 5-year contacts?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, Today, I received a notice of termination under Article 115-Redundancy. My contract in JAFZA began on October 10, 2020, and the end date is October 10, 2023. I need your help to understand if the term "month" refers to 20 or 30 days and if payment will be based on basic salary or full salary. Regarding my termination, they have mentioned the following payments: - Salary until April 12, 2023. - Salary in lieu of the notice period. - Three months' salary as compensation for early termination. - Leave encashment until April 12, 2023. - End of service gratuity until April 12, 2023. - One-way air ticket for repatriation to my home country, only if I exit the country. As per their request, I signed the acceptance on the notice document and returned the company phone and laptop. I would like to know if it is possible to file a complaint for any additional compensation as this termination has caused me financial distress, especially since I have to pay monthly installments to the banks for the next four years.

Q: Hi Mahmoud, I am seeking your professional advice and guidance regarding a certain doubt that has arisen in the context of my resignation from my current employment. I will be leaving the company on July 4th after working with them for 1 year and 6 months. Do I get a gratuity according to UAE law?

Q: Hello Sir, I worked in Dubai for 6 years and 6 months. My basic salary was AED 1200, but I only received AED 5906 in gratuity. I am not satisfied with this amount. Sir, please tell me, how much gratuity am I entitled to?

Issue: An employee resigned from the job after working for 5 years, and signs a letter addressed to the employer that he wants his gratuity to be paid only after his customer pays the employer. Therefore, has the employer defaulted for End of Service (EOS) payment under the UAE Labour Law?

An interview-format article covering the topic of employment contracts in the UAE. This is from the legal podcast of lawyer Ludmila Yamalova, the founder of Lawgical with LYLAW. Ludmila discusses the aspects of limited and unlimited contracts, like the end of service, notice, arbitrary dismissal...etc.

The UAE has adopted a major reform in its legislative system that brought about 40 new laws and amendments to the company law, criminal law, personal status, among others. The amendments aim to develop the legislative structure in various sectors, the labor law being one of these, was the most recent. We try in this article to shed light on the changes introduced with the new labor law and their significance on both, the employer and employee.

The provisions of this Law, known as "UAE Labour Law", govern the relationship between employers and employees and other labour matters in the United Arab Emirates. There are special labour related regulations applicable in some of the free zones in the UAE.

This Decree sets the rules and conditions for the termination of fixed-term (limited) or unlimited (not term-bound) employment contract between employer and worker in the United Arab Emirates.

The provisions of this Decree-Law, known as "New UAE Labor Law", govern labour relations in the private sector of the United Arab Emirates. The New Labor Law repeals the previous UAE Labor Law (Federal Law No. (8) of 1980).
