"As per article 114/2, an expatriate employee is entitled to a gratuity upon the end of service as follows: an amount equivalent to one month basic salary against every year of the first five, one and a half month basic salary against every year of the next five (6-10) and two month basic salary against every of the years (11+) to follow."

Calculations seem different than what I thought and have read on here, has there been a change in the system, or is it ace reporting from Khaleej Times?

Khaleej Times is barely fit to line a cat litter tray...

Autonomy

Unless it's changed in the last 2 months then that article is rubbish...

My understanding is:

Workout out your daily salary by dividing your yearly salary by 365 days.

First five years is 21 days x daily rate x period worked
Five to Ten years is 30 days x daily rate x period worked after five years.

For example - If you had yearly salary of 400,000dhs, started on 4th Dec 2004 and left on 30th June 2011 you'd be owed 166,680dhs

Sample excel attached.

(this is an example - not saying it's 100% correct but I think it is...)

You only get the 21 days/year if you've been with the company for a full five years. I think it's seven days for 1 to 3 years, 14 days for 3-5 years and 21 days for 5 to 10 years. More than ten years is 30 days for each year but it's also capped to no more than two years' salary total.

This is a few years old, but I doubt it has changed much
