What is included in the end of service gratuity?

Good day,

My end of service date was indicated.

I was told that my end-of-service gratuity will be compared vs. annual bonus payments during my employment and since my start of service to see from which I have received the most benefit.

How legitimate is this in accordance with the UAE Law?

Any bonus payments over the years and the end-of-service gratuity is free-standing, correct?

Thanks

Dear Questioner,

If your bonus was mentioned in your employment contract or in any of its addendum, at the end of your employment, you should receive the following:

1. end of service gratuity (which will be calculated based on your basic salary),

2. unused leave,

3. notice period,

4. unpaid bonus.

Best Regards,

Dear Raluca,

Many thanks.

Can a bonus/pro-rata bonus be in lieu of any end-of-service gratuity payment?
