Why the UAE Changed the EOS System
The old gratuity model worked on paper but created real risks: companies would delay payments, go bankrupt, or simply refuse to pay. Employees had no protection against these scenarios.
The new system solves this by moving contributions monthly into a protected investment fund — so by the time an employee leaves, their full entitlement is already secured, regardless of the employer's financial situation.
❌ Old Gratuity System (Pre-2026)
- ✕One-time lump sum only at job end
- ✕High risk of delayed or unpaid gratuity
- ✕No investment or growth on savings
- ✕Huge financial burden on employer at exit
- ✕Funds lost if company shuts down
- ✕Zero transparency for employee
✅ New EOS Savings Scheme (2026+)
- ✓Monthly deposits into secure fund
- ✓Guaranteed — fund is separate from employer
- ✓Investment-based growth on accumulated funds
- ✓Balanced monthly contributions — no exit shock
- ✓Fully protected even if company closes
- ✓Full transparency via approved fund statements
How the New EOS Savings Scheme Works
Employers must enroll with an approved investment fund provider registered under MOHRE. Each month, they deposit a fixed percentage of the employee's basic salary into that fund. The money is invested in low-risk instruments and grows over time.
Who is covered?
The scheme initially applies to private sector companies with 50 or more employees. It will expand to smaller businesses in phases. Government employees are not covered — this applies to MOHRE-regulated private sector only.
Monthly Contribution Rates
| Employee Service Period | Monthly Employer Contribution | Equivalent Days / Year |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 5 years | 5.83% of Basic Salary | ~21 days / year |
| 5 years or more | 8.33% of Basic Salary | ~30 days / year |
Example: AED 5,000 Basic Salary
| Service Phase | Rate | Monthly Deposit | Annual Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1–5 | 5.83% | AED 291.50 | AED 3,498 |
| Year 6+ | 8.33% | AED 416.50 | AED 4,998 |
What Happens to Service Before 2026?
Before December 31, 2025 — Old Gratuity Rules Apply
All service before this date is calculated under the traditional gratuity formula (21 days/year for first 5 years, 30 days/year after). This amount is fully protected and will not be lost.
January 1, 2026 — New System Begins
Employer starts making monthly EOS contributions. Service from this date onwards follows the new savings model. Both old + new amounts are separately tracked.
At End of Employment — Full Settlement
Employee receives: old gratuity (pre-2026) + accumulated fund value (post-2026 contributions + investment returns).
Employer Obligations Under the New System
The new EOS law places clear legal duties on employers. Non-compliance can result in fines, legal action, and MOHRE penalties.
Register with an Approved Fund
Employers must enroll with an MOHRE-approved investment fund provider. A list of approved funds is available on the official MOHRE portal.
Make Monthly Contributions on Time
Contributions must be deposited monthly without delay. Late or missed payments are a legal violation and subject to penalties.
Provide Transparent Fund Statements
Employees must be given access to their fund balance and contribution history at any time upon request.
Settle Pre-2026 Gratuity Separately
The old gratuity amount (for service before January 1, 2026) must be tracked separately and paid in full at end of employment.
