    (a) 7 days if the period of continuous employment is less than 3 months;
    (b) 30 days if the period of continuous employment is 3 months or more but less than 5 years; or
    (c) 90 days if the period of continuous employment is 5 years or more.

    -------------------------------

    -------------------------------

    Termination by Employer for Cause

    60. (4) An Employee is not entitled to a gratuity payment where the employment of the Employee has been terminated by the Employer for cause as defined in section 57(1).

    -------------------------------
    If your employer terminated you due to cause as defined under 57(1) you will not be due any gratuity as declared in rule 60.(4).
    Being terminated for excessive sick leave under rule 31 does not constitute termination for cause according to 57(3).
    -------------------------------
    57.Termination for Cause
    (1) The Employer may terminate an Employee's employment without notice for cause. Termination by the Employer for cause means termination due to the Employee's conduct in circumstances where a reasonable Employer would consider immediate termination to be warranted.

    31.Termination for excessive sick leave
    Where an Employee takes more than an aggregate of 60 business days of sick leave in any 12 month period, the Employer may terminate the employment immediately with written notice to the Employee.

    57. (3) Termination for cause does not include termination under section 31.

    Termination by Employee for Cause

    57. (2) The Employee may terminate his employment without notice for cause. Termination by the Employee for cause means termination by reason of the Employer having –

    (a) committed a crime, the commission of which has a material and detrimental impact on the Employee;
    (b) committed a repudiatory breach of a provision of the contract of employment; or
    (c) materially contravened these Regulations, which contravention has a material and detrimental impact on the Employee.

    -------------------------------
    If you terminated your employment due to your employer's behaviour, in accordance with 57(2) above, your gratuity calculation will include what would have been your applicable notice period as delcared under 9(3) of the ADGM Employment Regulations 2015 (Compensaton Awards and Limits) Rules 2016. Find the standard notice periods below or check your contract to see what you agreed to, then adjust your end date accordingly at the top of the calculator.
    -------------------------------
    56. Rights of Employer and Employee to minimum notice
    (2) Subject to subsections (4) to (6), the notice required to be given by an Employer or Employee to terminate an Employee's employment, where the Employee has been continuously employed for 1 month or more, shall not be less than –

    (a) 7 days if the period of continuous employment is less than 3 months;
    (b) 30 days if the period of continuous employment is 3 months or more but less than 5 years; or
    (c) 90 days if the period of continuous employment is 5 years or more.

    Standard Termination

    -------------------------------
    If you were terminated but not 'for cause', your gratuity calculation will include your applicable notice period, this might have been standard as below, or agreed differently in your contract. Adjust the end date at the top of the calculator form to account for the end date of your notice period.

    If you were terminated for excessive sick leave under rule 31 this does not consitute 'for cause' (see 57(3)) so you should not lose your gratuity but as it is termination without notice period, gratuity will only be to the date of termination.
    -------------------------------

  • Under DIFC Employment Law if contributions are made by your employer, on your behalf, to an alternative scheme which you have agreed to, then the the employer owes you no gratuity.

    DIFC Law No.2 of 2019

    66. Gratuity Payment
    (6) Subject to Article 66(7), Article 66(1) does not apply to an Employee who agrees in writing to receive contributions from their Employer into a pension scheme, retirement savings scheme or any substantially similar scheme, whether located in the UAE or elsewhere, instead of a Gratuity Payment. ----------------------------

    66 (1).
    Subject to Article 66(6), an Employee who is not required to be registered with the GPSSA under Article 65(1), and who completes continuous employment of one (1) year or more with their Employer, including any period of Secondment, is entitled to a Gratuity Payment on the termination of their employment.

    66 (7).
    The aggregate contributions made by an Employer in accordance with Article 66(6) must not be less than the Gratuity Payment the Employee would have been entitled to receive under Article 66(1), provided that the risk of any investment into a pension scheme, retirement savings scheme or any substantially similar scheme, if placed with a third party in a fiduciary capacity, shall be that of the Employee.
  • As your employer paid towards a different scheme that you specifically agreed to, Article 66(1) does not apply and they owe you no Gratuity payment. See info icon for more.
  • Commission payments in DIFC will only feature on your gratuity calculation if they are deemed part of your Basic Wage and not deemed an Additional Payment or Allowance.

    'Basic Wage' - means, subject to the provisions of Article 66(3)(a), an Employee’s Annual Wage, excluding any Allowance or Additional Payment.

    'Additional Payment' - means any bonus, grant, commission or any other payment made by an Employer to an Employee that is discretionary, non-recurring or expressly agreed not to form part of an Employee’s Wage or Allowance.

    'Allowance' - any allowance payable to an Employee pursuant to an Employment Contract, which includes (but is not limited to) housing, travel, education, social and entertainment and any benefit received in kind by an Employee and, where such allowance (or any part thereof) is not paid to an Employee in equal parts for each Pay Period over a twelve (12) month period, the aggregate annual allowances payable to an Employee shall be divided by the number of Pay Periods for that Employee over a twelve (12) month period for purposes of determining an Employee’s Wage for a Pay Period.

    ----------------------------
    66. Gratuity Payment

    (1) Subject to Article 66(6), an Employee who is not required to be registered with the GPSSA under Article 65(1), and who completes continuous employment of one (1) year or more with their Employer, including any period of Secondment, is entitled to a Gratuity Payment on the termination of their employment.

    (2) An Employee’s Gratuity Payment shall be calculated as follows:

    (a) an amount equal to twenty one (21) days of the Employee’s Basic Wage for each year of the first five (5) years of service; and
    (b) an amount equal to thirty (30) days of the Employee’s Basic Wage for each additional year of service,

    provided that the total of the Gratuity Payment shall not exceed an amount equal to two (2) times the Annual Wage of the Employee.

    (3) For purposes of Article 66(2):
    (a) an Employee’s Basic Wage shall not be less than fifty percent (50%) of the Employee’s Annual Wage; and
    (b) the daily rate of an Employee’s Basic Wage shall be calculated by dividing the Employee’s Basic Wage by three hundred and sixty five (365).

    (4) Where the Termination Date occurs part way through a year, the Gratuity Payment shall be calculated on a pro rata basis.

    (5) An Employer may deduct from the Gratuity Payment any amounts due and owing to the Employer by an Employee pursuant to the provisions of Articles 20 or 28(2).

    (6) Subject to Article 66(7), Article 66(1) does not apply to an Employee who agrees in writing to receive contributions from their Employer into a pension scheme, retirement savings scheme or any substantially similar scheme, whether located in the UAE or elsewhere, instead of a Gratuity Payment.

    (7)The aggregate contributions made by an Employer in accordance with Article 66(6) must not be less than the Gratuity Payment the Employee would have been entitled to receive under Article 66(1), provided that the risk of any investment into a pension scheme, retirement savings scheme or any substantially similar scheme, if placed with a third party in a fiduciary capacity, shall be that of the Employee.

  • The Employment Regulations 2015 state gratuity will be paid on the 'basic wage' see 60(2). Defined as:

    65. "basic wage" means the Employee's wage excluding any portion of an Employee's wage received in kind or as allowance for housing, travel, currency exchange (cashier), children's education, social and entertainment or any other type of allowance, bonus or commission payment, or overtime pay. The basic wage shall be calculated taking into consideration the total number of days in a year;

    If your contract specifically includes a recurring monthly 'commission' for example fixed percentage payouts as part of you basic wage rather than discretionary bonus payments, then it might be argued this can be factored into your basic wage for your gratuity calculation but this is up to the ADGM to decide and relies on the wording of your contract.

  • Limited Term Contracts
    An employment contract that is variously referred to as "limited term," "fixed term" or "determined term" has a fixed end date on which it will automatically expire, unless either party terminates it before that date or both parties agree to renew it.

    Unlimited Term Contracts
    An employment contract variously referred to as "unlimited term", "open term" and "undetermined term" is opened-ended with regards to its expiry.

    If you don't have a copy of your contract and work for an onshore company you can check your employment contract online here.

  • Resignation from an unlimited term employment contract should be done by giving advance notice of at least 30 days (Article 117) or longer if your employment contract specifies it (Ministerial Decree No.(765) of 2015 (Article (1) II 2) says this should not exceed 3 months maximum).

    If you left because your employer didn't fulfill their contractual or legal obligations towards you (such as paying you on time) or assaulted you (Article 121) you are still due gratuity even if you resigned without notice (assuming any such claims are validated by the relevant authorities). 

  • Depending on whether your termination was the result of your employer summarily terminating (firing) you for one of the reasons in Article 120 of the Labour Law, or not, it may affect your payout. Click the info icon to see if any apply.

    Depending on whether your termination was the result of your employer simply ending the contract early or if you were summarily terminated (fired) for one of the reasons below it will affect your payout.

    Article 120
    The employer may dismiss the worker without prior notice in any of the following cases:
    a - Should the worker assume false identity or nationality, or submits false certificates or documents.
    b - Should the worker be appointed under probation,  and the dismissal occur during or at the end of the probation period.
    c - Should the worker commit an error resulting in colossal material losses to the employer, provided that the Labor Department is notified of the incident within 48 hours of the knowledge of the occurrence thereof.
    d - Should the worker violate the instructions related to the safety at work or in the work place, provided that such instructions be written and posted in a prominent location, and that he is notified thereof should he be illiterate.
    e - Should the worker fail to perform his main duties in accordance with the employment contract, and fail to remedy such failure despite a written investigation on the matter and a warning that he will be dismissed in case of recidivism.
    f - Should he divulge any of the secret of the establishment where he works.
    g - Should he be convicted in a final manner by the competent court in a crime of honor, honesty or public ethics.
    h - Should he be found in a state of drunkenness or under the influence of a narcotic during work hours.
    i - Should he assault during the work the employer, responsible manager or co-worker.
    j - Should he be absent without valid cause for more than twenty non-consecutive days in one year, or for more than seven consecutive days.

    If you were dismissed under article 88 you should not lose your gratuity payment (confirmed with MOHRE) as it is not mentioned, only the wages during that period.
    Article 88
    During the annual or sick leave set forth in the current chapter, the worker may not work for another employer.  Should the employer establish such action, he shall be entitled to terminate the employment of the worker without notice and to deprive him of his wage for the duration of the leave.

  • Recurring monthly commission payments specified in your employment contract (eg. specified percentages or per unit sale) not discretionary bonuses. See the info icon for more details then add this to your basic wage figure further down the form.

    Generally only if you can provide proof of recurring monthly commission payments can they be considered as part of your basic wage for gratuity calculations - using an average of the the past few months and applying that to your basic wage figure. It may also rely on the wording of the contract you signed.

    There are no definitive clear rules on how to create the average, nor how many months should be used but as the Labour Law uses a 6 month average elsewhere eg. for calculating average daily wages (Article 57) for workers paid per piece, this might be a safe assumption.

    Add the average to your basic wage figure further down the form to see how it might affect your report.

  • If you agreed to a pension scheme that your employer contributed to on your behalf, that was widely advertised to all employees within the company as an alternative to the end of service gratuity and was more favourable, then you are not entitled to an end of service gratuity payout in addition to that. However you may choose the more favourable payout.

    Article 140 
    Should the establishment have a saving fund for the workers, and the rules of the fund stipulate that the sums deposited into the fund on behalf of the worker is in return for the legal obligation with regards to the end of service gratuity, the saved amount or the duly due gratuity shall be paid to the worker, whichever is greater.  Should the rules of the fund not stipulate that the amounts paid by the employer are in return for his legal obligation with regards to the end of service gratuity, the worker shall receive the amounts due to him from the saving fund in addition to the statutory end of service gratuity.

    Article 141
    Should the establishment have a retirement system, an insurance or any similar scheme, the worker entitled to a pension may choose between such pension, the prescribed gratuity or the money entitled thereto from the retirement system or under the insurance scheme, whichever is better.

  • 1/12th of your Annual 'Basic Wage' see the info icon for DIFC's definition.

    DIFC 'Basic Wage' is defined below. The gratuity calculation is based upon Articles 66(2) & (3) where the annual Basic Wage is divided by 365 days

    'Basic Wage' - means, subject to the provisions of Article 66(3)(a), an Employee’s Annual Wage, excluding any Allowance or Additional Payment.

    'Additional Payment' - means any bonus, grant, commission or any other payment made by an Employer to an Employee that is discretionary, non-recurring or expressly agreed not to form part of an Employee’s Wage or Allowance.

    'Allowance' - any allowance payable to an Employee pursuant to an Employment Contract, which includes (but is not limited to) housing, travel, education, social and entertainment and any benefit received in kind by an Employee and, where such allowance (or any part thereof) is not paid to an Employee in equal parts for each Pay Period over a twelve (12) month period, the aggregate annual allowances payable to an Employee shall be divided by the number of Pay Periods for that Employee over a twelve (12) month period for purposes of determining an Employee’s Wage for a Pay Period.
