Dear Questioner,

According to UAE labor law, the employer must pay the employee's final settlement within 14 days from the last day of work.

This includes any outstanding salary, end-of-service benefits, and any other entitlements.

If the employer fails to make the payment within this time frame, they may face penalties and legal action.

It is important to ensure that all necessary paperwork and procedures are completed before the last day of work to avoid any delays in receiving the final settlement.

If you have any concerns or issues with your final settlement, you can seek assistance from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization.

As per the latest UAE Labor Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021), your employer is required to pay all your final dues, including your salary and end-of-service benefits, within 14 days of your last working day.

This applies if you resign with proper notice or your employment is terminated.

Since your last day of work was July 18th, 2024, you can expect your final payment by August 2nd, 2024.
