Built for UAE employees who need a private, no-login estimate before any HR conversation.
Mission Statement
UAE Gratuity Check was built to give every employee in the UAE — regardless of nationality, job type, or employer — an accurate, private, no-login estimate of their end-of-service entitlement before any HR conversation.
We built this tool to give every UAE expat — whether they are in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or a free zone — a single reliable reference for their end-of-service entitlement.
Who We Are
UAE Expat HR & Finance Practitioners
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Our team has collectively spent over a decade working in the UAE private sector across construction, finance, and hospitality — the same industries covered by this calculator. We have personally navigated MOHRE complaints, end-of-service negotiations, and the transition from the old Labour Law (Federal Law No. 8 of 1980) to the new framework. That hands-on experience is built into every edge case this tool handles.
🏛️
UAE Labour Law expertise
Direct experience with Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022, and MOHRE ministerial decisions.
🏢
Multi-industry coverage
First-hand knowledge across construction (WPS), healthcare (DHA/MOH/DoH), hospitality, banking, and domestic worker sectors.
⚖️
MOHRE complaint experience
Team members have personally filed and resolved MOHRE labour complaints — the process described in our guides reflects real experience.
📊
DIFC & free zone knowledge
Working understanding of DEWS, ADGM employment regulations, JAFZA contracts, and how they differ from mainland UAE rules.
How We Build Our Tools
All calculators implement the formula defined in Article 51 of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022. We update calculations when MOHRE publishes legislative changes.

Executive Regulations implementing Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021

DIFC Employment Law No. 2 of 2019
DEWS (employee workplace savings) scheme for DIFC-registered companies
