No Gratuity for these Employees in UAE
Many companies send their employees a termination letter to avoid the payments of gratuity in UAE. Apart from this unfair act from employer, is there any other way where employees lose rights to the end of service gratuity?
Honestly writing, the employee (worker)
always has a right for the end of service benefits and it is illegal to send
the termination to the employee just to save the end of service gratuity
payment. In-case if employer does this, the employee has the following claims
against the company.
1. Gratuity
2. Minimum 1 month salary for notice
period
3. Pay for arbitrary
(uninformed) dismissal
Can an employee lose his gratuity claim?
Yes, the employee can lose his/her
gratuity entitlement only if he/she breaches the employment contract in a
manner that allows the employer (company) to terminate the worker for cause
mentioned in UAE
Labour Law Article 120, the other reason when an employee can lose his end
of service benefits are:
·
If employee
breaches the limited contract
·
If employee
resigned before completing one year
·
If employee owes
money from company which is more than gratuity, the employer has right to
deduct it from employee final compensation.
·
If employee
violates the UAE labor law rules written in Article 120 and get terminated
without notice period.
