End-of-Service Benefits (EOSB) Calculation Support (Accounting Entries)
Practical EOSB calculation and accounting-entry support for UAE employers, ensuring correct gratuity figures, reconciliations and compliant ledger postings.
Overview
AL SAHRAA helps employers in the UAE calculate end-of-service benefits (gratuity) and record correct accounting entries tied to payroll and final settlements. We work with your payroll and HR records to determine statutory entitlements under UAE Labour Law and translate those figures into clear journal entries for your ledgers. Our process includes data validation, tenure and salary breakdown reviews, calculation of gratuity and leave payouts, and preparation of reversing or provision entries as needed. We document assumptions, rounding and any special contractual terms to keep records auditable. We tailor entries to your chart of accounts and accounting software (Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Xero, Tally). If you need, we also assist with opening balance adjustments, backlog cleanup and migration of EOSB data into your accounting system. We deliver reconciled schedules and posting templates so your finance team or external accountant can post with confidence. Optional follow-up support is available for audits, payroll corrections and year-end closing.

Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate EOSB in the UAE?
We calculate gratuity using UAE Labour Law rules and contractual terms: service duration, basic salary components, and applicable notice or termination conditions. We document the calculation and assumptions for transparency.
Can you post the accounting entries in our accounting software?
Yes. We prepare entries mapped to your chart of accounts and can export or post them in Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Xero or Tally on request.
What if employment contracts have special clauses?
We review contractual clauses and incorporate valid contractual terms into the calculation, flagging any inconsistencies or areas that may require legal advice.
Do you handle backlog and opening balance adjustments?
Yes. We offer bookkeeping cleanup, opening balance setup and accounting data migration services to ensure EOSB liabilities are accurately reflected.
How long does the EOSB calculation and entries preparation take?
Turnaround depends on employee count and data completeness; typical small-to-medium engagements take a few days after receiving validated records.
