GRATUITY (END-OF-SERVICE BENEFIT) CALCULATION SHEET
Employee: Employee name Start date: Start date End date: End date Years of service: Years of service
This sheet applies the formula in Article 51 of Federal Decree-Law No. 33/2021 ("Labour Law"): an employee with at least 1 year of service is entitled to 21 days' basic wage for each of the first 5 years of service, and 30 days' basic wage for each year beyond that, pro-rated for a partial final year, capped at 2 years' total wage. The calculation uses BASIC salary only, excluding allowances. Unpaid absence days are excluded from the qualifying service period. Payment is due within 14 days of the end of the contract.

DIFC has its own mandatory equivalent (DEWS).

— — — ⚠️ This is a boilerplate template, not legal advice. It is written for UAE MAINLAND businesses under MOHRE (Federal Decree-Law No. 33/2021 and its executive regulations); free zones (DMCC, JAFZA, and others) have their own labour contract portals and forms, and DIFC/ADGM are separate common-law jurisdictions with their own employment law and data-protection law (DIFC Employment Law, DEWS instead of gratuity, and data-protection rules other than the PDPL) — confirm which regime applies before use. Emirate-level rules (Dubai DET/DM, Abu Dhabi ADDED/DCT/ADAFSA, Sharjah SEDD, and others) also diverge. Have this template reviewed by a UAE-qualified lawyer and verified against the current MOHRE, WPS, PDPL, and emirate-specific requirements before use.
