Generate a professional EOSB request or demand letter. References UAE Article 51 and KSA Article 84. Copy the text or download as PDF.
You should send a formal EOSB request letter as soon as your employment ends and you have not received your end of service benefit. In the UAE, employers are required to pay EOSB within 14 days of termination. In Saudi Arabia (KSA), the deadline is 7 days. Sending a written request creates a paper trail that strengthens your position if the matter escalates.
A request letter is a polite, formal letter sent when EOSB is first due — it references the law and asks for payment within the statutory deadline. A demand letter is a firmer communication sent after the deadline has passed without payment. It warns the employer that you will file a complaint with MoHRE (UAE) or HRSD (KSA) if payment is not received within 5 working days.
In the UAE, End of Service Gratuity is governed by Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021, Article 51. In Saudi Arabia, End of Service Benefits are covered by the Labour Law (Royal Decree No. M/51), Article 84. Both laws set out the calculation formula and the employer's obligation to pay promptly upon termination of employment.
These templates provide a strong starting point for formal communication with your employer. If your employer does not respond to a demand letter, you can file a complaint with MoHRE (UAE) or HRSD/Musaned (KSA). The demand letter serves as evidence that you attempted to resolve the matter directly. For labour court proceedings or complex cases, consult a qualified labour lawyer.
