Understanding UAE End-of-Service Benefits (EOSB)
End-of-Service Gratuity is a statutory lump-sum benefit provided to full-time private sector employees who complete at least one full year of continuous service in the United Arab Emirates. Following the implementation of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, the gratuity calculation principles were unified across private sector employment contracts.
Key Principles of the Law:
- Basic Salary Basis: Gratuity is calculated strictly using your last drawn basic salary. Housing, transport, and other allowances are excluded.
- Minimum Service Threshold: Employees serving less than 365 days receive zero gratuity.
- First 5 Years Rate: 21 days basic salary for each year of service.
- Beyond 5 Years Rate: 30 days basic salary for each additional year of service.
- Maximum Statutory Cap: Total gratuity cannot exceed 2 years (24 months) of basic salary.
- Resignation Protection: Post-2022 law provides full statutory gratuity after 1 year of service upon resignation without fractional penalty reductions.
