What should be in a Gulf final settlement?
Five things: (1) salary up to your last working day, (2) end-of-service gratuity or indemnity, (3) cash for unused annual leave, (4) notice-period pay if your employer ended the contract without the full notice, and (5) any other contract items such as a promised air ticket — minus lawful deductions like outstanding loans. Employers in the UAE must settle within 14 days of the contract ending; other Gulf states have similar short deadlines. Never sign a “received in full” statement before you have checked the numbers.
