The calculation of leave dues upon contract completion

Good morning Madam,

I joined a company in the UAE in January and completed my contract at the end of October. I didn't take any vacation during these days. How many days I can encash as my leave?

Is this based on basic salary or basic salary + HRA?

Please give your advice.

Thank you for your support!

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for writing to me.

Please note that the leave salary is calculated on the basis of basic salary plus HRA although, in practice, full salary is dispersed.

The calculation is based on the last salary drawn by the employee. This is as per Articles 75 and 78 of UAE labor law.

In your case, if you have completed more than 6 months, then two leaves will be accrued per month as annual leave.

I am not sure about your period of employment to confirm your leave period calculation.

Article 79 stipulates that the employee is entitled to receive this pay only after serving the notice period.

Hope the above explanation is satisfactory. Please feel free to contact me if you need any further information, assistance, or guidance.

Thank you!

Regards,

Rajasree Ravivarma
