Did commission form part of your basic wage? (DIFC)
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

Did commission form part of you basic wage? (ADGM)
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.
Please click the information icon for the above field to make sure this interpretation is correct, it is reliant on the wording of your own particular contract too, then continue...

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.
General Circumstances of Ending Employment*
General Circumstances of Ending Employment (Unlimited Contract)*
How did you resign from your unlimited term contract?*
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).
Reason for termination*
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.
Did you give notice of your resignation and work the notice period specified in your contract before leaving the company?*
Were you paid on a commission basis?
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.
Did your employer contribute to an alternative pension scheme, retirement savings scheme or similar scheme as agreed between you?
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.
