How the end-of-service benefit is calculated
Saudi Arabia (Labour Law, Art. 84): half a month's wage for each of the first five years and a full month's wage for each year after, with part years counted pro rata. When the employee resigns, Art. 85 pays nothing under 2 years, a third for 2–5 years, two thirds for 5–10 years and the full award from 10 years.
UAE (Federal Decree-Law 33 of 2021, Art. 51): 21 days' basic salary per year for the first five years and 30 days per year after that, from one full year of service, capped at two years' basic salary. A day's wage is the basic monthly salary divided by 30.
Frequently asked questions
How is end-of-service calculated in Saudi Arabia?
Half a month's wage for each of the first 5 years and one month's wage for each year after, using the last wage (basic plus regular allowances). For 7 years at 10,000 SAR: 5 × 5,000 + 2 × 10,000 = 45,000 SAR.
What do I get if I resign in Saudi Arabia?
Under Art. 85: nothing under 2 years of service, one third of the award for 2–5 years, two thirds for 5–10 years and the full award from 10 years. Some cases get the full award anyway (Art. 87), such as force majeure, or a female worker resigning within 6 months of marriage or 3 months of giving birth.
How is UAE gratuity calculated?
21 days of basic salary per year for the first 5 years and 30 days per year after, with a day's wage of basic salary ÷ 30. You need at least one year of continuous service, and the total cannot exceed two years' basic salary. Days of unpaid leave are not counted.
Does resigning reduce gratuity in the UAE?
Not under the current law (Federal Decree-Law 33 of 2021): the same gratuity applies whether the employee resigns or the employer ends the contract, once one year is completed. Free zones such as DIFC and ADGM have their own rules.
