Will I be eligible to my gratuity if I resigned while on a long unpaid leave?
Greetings Sir,
I have been working in a company in Dubai for 6.5 years starting in 2015. I came for annual leave to my home country in Feb '22 for 1 month. Later my company asked me to extend my leave (unpaid) for 2 months.
Thereafter, due to poor financial conditions and ill health, I resigned from my job while staying outside the UAE and directly resigned over email without serving any notice period.
Since I was already sent for unpaid long leave, and I resigned due to the above circumstances, will I be eligible for the end-of-service gratuity?
Thanks in advance
A.
