Transcript

Not every exit is a good one. This one was dismissed. Here is what they're owed. Same person. Other reason. Same number. In the UAE, the reason does not reduce the gratuity. The law card says it too, in its own words. Record it honestly. Misconduct, named as misconduct. Some products would zero this out automatically. We don't. Withholding someone's pay is a legal decision. The award is computed in full. A human decides the rest. Finance is told. The lawyers, if needed, are told.

Frequently asked questions

Does dismissal reduce gratuity in the UAE?

No — in the UAE the reason does not reduce the gratuity, and the law card on screen says so in its own words. Same person, other reason, same number.

Why doesn't the system zero it automatically?

Because withholding someone's pay is a legal decision. The award is computed in full, misconduct is named as misconduct, and a human decides the rest — with finance, and lawyers if needed, told.
