Leave salary calculation in case of changing salary
Could you please advise the leave salary calculation for the below scenario:
- Leave Due 02/04/2020
- Leave availing from 07/05/2021
- Salary till 31/12/2020: AED 4,500
- Increment Received from 01/01/2021 and new salary amount AED 5,800

Dear questioner,
Thanks for contacting me!
Article 75 lays down the accumulation of leaves based on the time period of work:
A worker shall, for each year of service, be entitled to an annual leave of not less than:
1. Two days a month, where the worker’s period of service is more than six months but less than one year.
2. 30 days a year, where the worker’s period of service is more than one year.
Where a worker's service is terminated, he shall be entitled to annual leave in respect of fractions of the last year.
Further, leave salary is calculated on the basis of the last salary you received from your employer through WPS. [Article 79]
Hope the above explanation is sufficient to calculate your leave salary benefits.
