What goes into a final settlement
- Gratuity: your end-of-service benefit, calculated from your service length and wage.
- Unpaid salary: days worked in your last month that have not been paid yet (full salary including allowances).
- Leave encashment: unused annual leave paid in cash, at the daily wage (monthly wage ÷ 30).
- Notice pay: if either side ends the contract without serving notice, the notice period is paid out.
- Deductions: loans, salary advances or other amounts you owe the employer.
How gratuity works in Qatar
- You must complete at least 1 year of service.
- At least 3 weeks (21 days) of basic salary for each year of service.
- Part years are paid pro rata.
- Your contract may give more than this, never less.
If you resign
There is no legal reduction for resigning. After 1 year you get gratuity whether you resign or are terminated.
Good to know
- Some contracts give 30 days per year. If yours does, your entitlement is higher than this minimum.
