BaghdadiLaw’s experience in end of service benefits in the UAE
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to end-of-service entitlement claims and settlements, with detailed knowledge of how termination circumstances, prior payments and release terms affect the amount in dispute. A UAE end-of-service calculation depends on the employee's governing regime, service history and relevant pay basis. Alternative savings arrangements and prior payments may also affect the review, so a single online figure should be checked against the actual employment records.
UAE end-of-service calculations depend on employment regime, nationality or pension status, service and any applicable alternative savings scheme. For ordinary expatriate private-sector gratuity, basic wage matters; total package and basic wage should not be confused. DIFC, ADGM and public employment require separate treatment. Confirm service dates, wage components, termination record and prior payments. Explain any break in service or settlement rather than assuming a single formula applies to every record.
We agree the work your matter needs: Request a corrected calculation where wage, service or scheme status is wrong. Separate pension or savings-scheme treatment from ordinary gratuity; an agreed final payment should identify other dues and any release rather than make one number stand for every entitlement. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A benefits reconciliation stating the service and pay inputs, applicable scheme questions and differences between the employer's calculation and the supporting records.

Before requesting advice on end of service benefits in the UAE
What facts are needed before calculating end-of-service dues?+
Confirm the employment regime, start and end dates, relevant wage components, termination circumstances and prior payments. Identify any alternative benefit arrangement or release. A calculation should state its assumptions instead of relying on a universal online formula.
Does a gratuity estimate settle wages and leave too?+
No. Gratuity or savings-scheme benefits are only part of the final reconciliation. Add earned wages, leave and any notice-related entitlement on their own basis, then identify payments and deductions before assessing the release offered.
What if the worker entered an alternative savings scheme mid-service?+
Identify the enrolment date and treatment of earlier service before combining balances.
