Thank you very much for all the helpful replies and I have been a regular reader of legal clinic. Now I have not able to clear my doubts on indemnity, and I need your helping in solving my problem. I’m working in a company, have completed 7 years, and have resigned. My salary is KD 350 and I need to know how much indemnity I will get in the end ... also I have annual leave salary pending for 1 year and 8 months. What will be the total payment.

Answer:
Your indemnity will be calculated as follows:
You get 15 days pay for each of the first 5 years = 75 days
But these 75 days have to be divided by 26 (working days in a month) = 2.88 months pay
You get one month’s pay for each of the remaining years = 2 months pay
Total = 2.88 + 2 = 4.88 months pay = 4.88 x KD 350 = KD 1,708
But as you are resigning with over 5 years but less 10 years service you are entitled to only two-thirds of this total = KD1,139
For the balance of the annual leave for one and a half years you have a total of 45 days (30 days per year)
But these 45 days have to be first divided by 26 (working days in a month) = 45 / 26 = 1.73 months pay = 1.73 x KD 350 = KD 605.500 So, your total settlement will be KD 1139 + KD 605.500 =KD1,744.500
Please help me calculate my indemnity. I have resigned from my company and my last working day is Oct 4, 2016. My joining date in this company was July 01, 2013. My salary is KD275/- (Basic salary was KD250/- with a KD25 allowance) What will be the total indemnity I will receive from my company?

And according to the law, “remuneration” means the basic salary plus all the allowances received on a regular basis.
Secondly, you will get half the indemnity because your service is over 3 years but less than 5 years ... and you have resigned.
The calculation of the indemnity will be as follows: Service: 3.25 years
Salary: KD 275 You are entitled to 15 days pay for each year of service = 3.25 x 15 = 48.75 days
But these days must first be divided by 26 (working days in a month) = 48.75 / 26 = 1.875 months salary = 1.875 x KD 275 = KD 515.625
But as you have resigned with over 3 years but less than 5 years service, you will be entitled to half the amount = KD 515.625 / 2 = KD 257.813
