Why this source register matters
Employment-exit calculations can change when the jurisdiction, wage definition, scheme or employment category changes. FinalPay UAE therefore prioritises legislation, government service pages and regulator guidance over summaries from other calculators.
How the sources are used
Federal private-sector calculations rely on UAE Government and MOHRE materials. ADGM and DIFC are checked separately because their employment and end-of-service systems do not use one universal federal formula. Immigration steps are linked to ICP, GDRFA and UAE Government services.
