How Gratuity Works in Sharjah

Sharjah is the third-largest emirate and home to a large number of manufacturing, trading, and logistics companies. All mainland employers must comply with UAE Federal Labour Law:

  • Formula base: Basic salary only (housing, transport, and other allowances excluded)
  • Rate: 21 days per year for first 5 years of service; 30 days per year thereafter
  • Minimum service: 1 complete year
  • Max cap: 2 years of basic salary
  • Payment deadline: 14 days from last working day (Article 53)

Sharjah End of Service Calculator: What to Enter

For a Sharjah end of service calculation, enter your last drawn basic salary, not your gross salary. Housing allowance, transport allowance, bonuses, and overtime are excluded from the gratuity base under UAE labour law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sharjah gratuity calculated differently from Dubai?

No. Sharjah follows the same UAE Federal Labour Law as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and all other mainland emirates. Federal Decree-Law No. (33) of 2021 applies uniformly: first 5 years at 21 days' basic pay per year, beyond 5 years at 30 days' basic pay per year. There is no Sharjah-specific gratuity calculation.

What is the minimum service required for gratuity in Sharjah?

UAE Federal Labour Law requires at least 1 complete year of continuous service with the same employer. If you leave before completing 12 months of employment, you are not entitled to any gratuity.

Does the Sharjah Airport free zone follow the same gratuity rules?

Sharjah Airport International Free Zone (SAIF Zone) and Hamriyah Free Zone employees are generally covered by UAE Federal Labour Law for gratuity. However, always check your specific employment contract, as some free zone employers may have enhanced terms or slightly different procedures for final settlements.

Does Sharjah have its own labour authority?

Sharjah mainland companies fall under MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation) jurisdiction for all federal labour matters including gratuity disputes. You can file a complaint at mohre.gov.ae or by calling 800-60. Unresolved disputes go to Sharjah Labour Courts.
