FAQs
My employer has not paid my salary. What can I do?+
Generally you can file a complaint with MOHRE (or your free-zone authority). MOHRE first tries an amicable settlement; if that fails the matter can be referred to the Labour Court. Keep your contract, payslips and messages. A lawyer can calculate exactly what you are owed.
How is end-of-service gratuity calculated?+
Under the current Labour Law, gratuity is generally based on basic salary: 21 days per year for the first five years and 30 days per year after that, capped at two years of wages. Free zones and special contracts may differ.
