How long does gratuity take to be paid in UAE?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to ask how long it usually takes for a company to pay gratuity in UAE after leaving a job. Is there any official time limit under labour law, or does it depend on the company? Also, has anyone experienced delays in receiving their gratuity? If yes, what did you do in that situation? I was trying to estimate my amount using a Gratuity Calculator UAE, but now I’m more concerned about when it actually gets paid. Would appreciate if someone can share their experience. Thanks
