Dawmo 2026.9 is out — rendered payslips, a public API and calendar feeds. See what changed
What the UAE pack covers, what Dawmo does about each part of it, and the rules we are willing to state in writing, each with its source and the month it was last checked.
Rules change. A pack version does not lie about which ones were in force when a payroll ran.

Social insurance
GPSSA for UAE and GCC nationals, with the employer and employee split applied
End of service
Gratuity under the federal labour law, with resignation and termination treated differently

This describes how Dawmo handles these rules. It is not legal advice and does not replace your own advisers, particularly where your contracts, entity structure or sector change the answer.
Bring last month’s payroll and we will run it through Dawmo on the call, with your own country pack in force.
