DIFC termination payments are generally due within 14 days. A daily-wage late-payment penalty can exist, but it is not automatic and depends on statutory thresholds and waiver conditions.

It does not decideA court finding that a penalty is payable
Enter only the facts this calculation needs.
Inputs remain in your browser. Save the result beside original payroll records rather than treating it as a certificate.
Do not treat the illustrative accumulation as an amount automatically owed. DIFC late-payment penalties have statutory thresholds and can be limited or waived, including during a court dispute or where employee conduct materially caused non-payment.
Formula used
Daily Wage = Annual Wage ÷ 260 for a five-day work week; illustrative accumulation = Daily Wage × calendar days after the 14-day deadline.
Assumptions to verify
- The entered Annual Wage matches the DIFC Wage definition.
- The termination date and payment date are accurate.
- The unpaid amount entered is the amount actually due under the relevant rule.
What this result does not prove
- A court finding that the penalty is payable.
- Periods during which a court dispute or employee conduct may trigger waiver provisions.
- Deferred Additional Payments.
Why the tool says “illustrative”
Article 19 contains conditions that can prevent or waive the penalty. A simple number of late days cannot decide those legal questions.
