How it works

How to calculate leaving indemnity in Bahrain

Under the Bahrain Labour Law 2012, a non-Bahraini employee’s leaving indemnity accrues at 15 days’ wage for each of the first three years of service, then a full month’s wage for every year beyond three. Partial years are paid pro-rata.

Bahraini nationals are covered by the Social Insurance Organisation (SIO) pension system rather than the leaving indemnity, so this calculator is aimed at expatriate employees.
