Compensating Long-Term Service and Employee Loyalty

Another essential purpose of gratuity is to reward employees for their years of contribution and loyalty to a company. It acknowledges that the longer an employee serves, the more value they add through skills, experience, and productivity.

Recognition of Service: The UAE Labour Law directly ties gratuity to length of service — the more years you work, the higher your gratuity entitlement. This reflects recognition and appreciation of sustained effort.

Encourages Retention: Knowing that longer service leads to a higher payout, employees are motivated to stay longer with the same employer, reducing turnover from Gratuity calculation.

Promotes Mutual Trust: Employers who honour gratuity obligations build trust and goodwill. It’s seen as a mark of respect and integrity in business practices.

Essentially, gratuity serves as both a reward and an incentive, strengthening long-term employment relationships.
