* A letter template you review, complete and sign — not legal advice. The employer who issues it is responsible for its content. The wages and all other entitlements are due within 14 days of the end of the contract (Article 53). A discharge, reconciliation or waiver of the worker’s rights under the Decree-Law is void if it violates its provisions (Article 65(3)), so this receipt releases nothing: it confirms payment of the amounts listed and says so. A deduction from the end-of-service benefit must be one the law allows (Article 51(7); Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022, Article 29). The employment contract, the law that actually applies (the DIFC and ADGM free zones have their own employment laws) and any decision of MOHRE or a court prevail over this template — check it with MOHRE or a qualified adviser before you issue it.

This tool writes the receipt an employer prepares when it pays an employee’s end-of-service dues and the employee signs to acknowledge the payment. It lists each amount paid, each deduction with its reason, the net amount, the date and the method of payment. You can fill it in by hand or carry the figures over from the final settlement calculator.

A receipt, not a release

Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, Article 65(3): “Each discharge, reconciliation or waiver of the rights arising for the worker hereunder shall be null and void if it violates its provisions.” A signed “full and final settlement” clause therefore cannot take away an entitlement the law gives the worker. This receipt does not try to: it says “This receipt confirms payment of the amounts listed above. It does not waive any right under the Decree-Law.”

The employee signs under the words “I confirm that I received the net amount stated above”, with a line for the date they sign.

Deadline and deductions

Article 53 requires the employer to pay the wages and all other entitlements within 14 days of the end of the contract. If the payment date you enter is later than that, the page notes it; the receipt still records the date the payment was actually made.

Each deduction must state its reason. Article 51(7) lets the employer deduct from the end-of-service benefit only amounts payable under the law or a judgment, under the conditions of Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022, Article 29, for example the repayment of a loan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should an employee sign a “full and final settlement” in the UAE?

A waiver of rights under the Labour Law that violates its provisions is void (Article 65(3) of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021). This receipt contains no such clause: it confirms the amounts paid and states that no right is waived.

When must the final settlement be paid?

Within 14 days from the end of the contract (Article 53 of Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021).
