UAE end-of-service gratuity is a financial benefit payable to eligible full-time foreign workers in the private sector when their employment ends. Under Article 51 of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, a full-time foreign worker who has completed at least one year of continuous service is entitled to gratuity calculated according to their basic wage and length of service.
A full-time foreign worker in the UAE private sector is entitled to end-of-service gratuity after completing at least one year of continuous service. Employees who have worked for less than one year are not entitled to gratuity under the standard Article 51 framework. Gratuity is also calculated proportionately for a fraction of a year once the employee has completed one year of continuous service.
For a full-time foreign worker who has completed at least one year of continuous service, UAE end-of-service gratuity is calculated based on the last basic wage:
Daily Basic Wage = Last Basic Salary ÷ 30
First 5 Years = Daily Basic Wage × 21 × Years of Service
After 5 Years = Daily Basic Wage × 30 × Additional Years of Service
Any fraction of a year after the first year is calculated proportionately. The total gratuity cannot exceed two years' wage.
Daily Basic Wage = Last Basic Salary ÷ 30
First 5 Years = Daily Basic Wage × 21 × Years of Service
After 5 Years = Daily Basic Wage × 30 × Additional Years of Service
Any fraction of a year after the first year is calculated proportionately. The total gratuity cannot exceed two years' wage.
UAE end-of-service gratuity is calculated using the employee's last basic wage, not the total salary. Allowances such as housing, transportation, utilities and furniture are not included in the gratuity calculation.

End-of-service gratuity does not apply to temporary employment lasting less than one year.
