Ask a Gulf founder what they'd owe if everyone resigned. Almost none of them can answer. Al Reem can. Across this many people. This much each, on average. And it breaks down by department. Marine Operations carries the most — long service, senior salaries. Notice the count is smaller than the headcount. Emirati staff carry no employer gratuity — GPSSA carries them. Their pension is funded by contributions you already pay. Now Oman. Same page, different law, different currency. Three decimals. Omani rial is counted in baisa, not fils. Most finance tools round that away. This one stores it. And you can look forward. What will this cost in 2029? Budget it now, instead of meeting it later.
Frequently asked questions
How is total end-of-service liability broken down?
By people covered, the average each, and by department — long service and senior salaries make one department carry the most. The count covered is smaller than headcount because Emirati staff carry no employer gratuity; GPSSA carries them through contributions you already pay.
Does the Omani figure keep its precision?
Yes — the Omani rial is counted in baisa, not fils, so the figure carries three decimals. Most finance tools round that away; this one stores it.
Can I forecast the liability?
Yes — you can look forward to what it will cost in a future year, so it can be budgeted now rather than met later.
