What is Gratuity (UAE)?
A mandatory end-of-service benefit in the UAE calculated on the employee's last basic salary and years of service, payable as a lump sum when employment ends under Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021.
Why it matters in hiring
Gratuity (UAE) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
