Important: DIFC is not a standard MOHRE mainland gratuity case. Check your DEWS account, employment contract, and DIFC employment rules before relying on a standard gratuity figure.

How gratuity works in Dubai International Financial Centre
DIFC employees are under a separate employment regime. Since DEWS, many employees receive employer-funded workplace savings contributions instead of a traditional UAE mainland gratuity for post-scheme service. Use this calculator for rough comparisons or legacy service checks, then compare it with your DEWS statement.
- DIFC DEWS generally replaced traditional end-of-service gratuity for covered employees from 2020 onward.
- Pre-DEWS accrued gratuity may be handled separately from post-DEWS monthly contributions.
- Your DEWS statement is the key document for post-scheme savings value.
- Use basic salary for any legacy comparison calculation.
- For disputes, DIFC procedures and courts may apply rather than MOHRE.
