Transferring the employees to a new company without paying the gratuity

Hi,

My company in DMCC is planning to shut down. They are not willing to pay us the gratuity.

They have offered the remaining staff, including me, to be transferred to a new company they are opening soon.

Is there any way we can get a continuation of the contract in order not to lose our gratuity in the long run?

We have all been in the company for more than 8 years now.

Many thanks,

Dear questioner,

You have two options; either to close the current contract and take your gratuity until the date of termination and have a new contract or to have a new contract where it extends the current one so the obligations and liabilities move forward to the new contract as well.
