Allowance for notice days not served

About UAE Notice Period Pay Calculator

Under Article 43 of the UAE Labour Law, either side ending a contract must give written notice of at least 30 and at most 90 days, and the worker is paid full wages during notice. A party that does not serve the full notice owes the other an allowance. This calculator estimates that allowance as daily wage times unserved days.
