What is End of Service Gratuity in Qatar?
End of service gratuity (EOSG) is a financial reward that every eligible employee receives when leaving their job in Qatar.
It serves two main purposes:
For employees: Provides financial support at the end of employment.
For employers: Ensures compliance with labour law and fair treatment of staff.
The gratuity system is part of Qatar’s labour protection framework, ensuring that service years are compensated even after the job ends.
Who is Entitled to Gratuity in Qatar?
Eligibility Criteria
You must complete at least 1 year of continuous service with the same employer.
Both limited-term and unlimited-term contracts are covered.
Who is Not Eligible
Employees leaving before 1 year of service.
Employees dismissed for serious misconduct such as fraud, fake documents, or causing intentional damage (Article 61).
Even if your contract doesn’t mention gratuity, you are still entitled — it’s a legal right under the labour law.

How to Calculate Gratuity in Qatar
Official Formula
The Ministry of Labour uses this formula:
Gratuity = (Basic Salary × 21 ÷ 30) × Completed Years of Service
Worked Example
Last Basic Salary: QAR 2,000
Years of Service: 1.5 years
Calculation:
2000 × (21 ÷ 30) × 1.5 = QAR 2,100

Factors That Affect Gratuity
While the formula is simple, a few details can change the final amount:
Last Drawn Basic Salary: Always based on your final basic pay.
Annual Leave: Paid leave counts toward service years.
Unpaid Leave: Deducted from service years.
Loans/Deductions: Employers can deduct unpaid dues before paying gratuity.
Type of Contract: Fixed or unlimited contracts both follow the same rules.
Common Gratuity Scenarios
Resignation
If you resign after 1+ years, you are fully entitled.
Contract Expiry
Gratuity must be paid when a limited-term contract ends.
Termination by Employer
Without cause: You are entitled.
With cause (misconduct): Employer may withhold gratuity.
Mutual Agreement
If both parties agree to end the contract, gratuity still applies if service ≥ 1 year.
Final Settlement Calculation in Qatar
Gratuity is part of your final settlement, which also includes other payments.
Formula:
Final Settlement = Basic Salary + Gratuity + Leave Salary – Deductions
| Component | Example (QAR) |
|---|---|
| Last Month Salary | 2,000 |
| Gratuity | 6,300 |
| Unused Leave Pay | 1,200 |
| Loan Deduction | -500 |
| Total Settlement | 9,000 |
