Q 1: What is Annual Leave and who is Entitled for it?
Annual leave is a paid time off work granted by companies (employers) to workers (employees) to be used for whatever the employee wishes.
Please clear that a person who is working (full time work) under UAE LABOUR LAW is entitled to Annual Leave and it is a basic right of every worker written in various UAE Labor Law Articles.

Article 75 stated: “Employee is entitled for 30 days annually if his service exceeds one year. At the end of the service the employee is entitled to an annual leave for the fraction of the last year he spent in service”.

Q 2: Do we entitled for air ticket?
The most important aspect and the mostly asked question by our readers is that “ do we entitled for air ticket after completing 1 year of Service? The answer is NO. The company is not liable to pay air ticket to the employees. This is not covered in the UAE Labour Law.
In simple words Annual Air ticket or Air Fare procedure is related to company policy and practice and it is not covered under UAE Labour Law Articles.

Q 3: Who decides when to go on annual leave, Company or Employee?
If you are employee, you could decide when your annual leave starts. However, employer (Company) can change or divide your Annual Leave if the exigencies of work necessitate.

Article 76 stated: “The employer may at his discretion determine the date for commencement of annual leaves and, when necessary, he may decide to divide the leave in two parts at the most, except in cases of juveniles where vacation may not be divided in parts”.

Q 4: When we will be paid and what are we entitled for?
UAE Labour Law clearly states that every Employee should get his/her annual Leave once his/her service exceeds 1 year. After one year of service, employee is entitled for full Salary before taking his/her Annual Leave.
Please note many companies are in violation of UAE Labour Law by paying only Basic salary, you should be paid both your normal (Basic) salary and Annual Salary as well.

Article 80 stated: “Annual leave shall be paid to the employee before taking his annual leave, the employee shall be paid his full wage, plus the wage of his leave days he deserves according to the provision of this law”.

Q 5: What if there are public holidays during Annual leave?
In case of any official or Public holidays announced by Government during the Annual Leave, those days should be treated as part of Annual Leave.

Article 77 stated: “The calculation of duration of annual leave shall include holidays specified by law or by agreement, or by any other day because of sickness if they fall within the leave and shall be deemed to be part thereof”.



Q 6: What if Employee get sick During Annual Leave?
Article 82 stated: “If the employee falls sick for reasons other than labour injury he must report his illness within a period of two days at most and the employer must take necessary measures having him medically checked up to ascertain illness”.

Q 7: What if someone couldn’t come back to work within signed Holidays?
If an employee delayed the rejoining or couldn’t come back to work after Annual Vacation due to family or other issues, he/she will not be entitled for any pay for the days employees are absent.

Article 89 stated: “Subject to the provisions herein contained, every employee who does not report to duty immediately after expiry of his vacation, he shall be deprived of his pay for the period of absence commencing from the day following to the date on which the leave has expired”.

Q 8: Can employee be fired during his/her annual leave?
An employee working in any state of United Arab Emirates cannot be terminated by Company from his services while he is on annual leave.
If an employer (company) does dismiss a member of his staff while he/she is officially on leave, it may be considered an arbitrary dismissal and the affected employee can take course to legal action against company.

Q 9: Do I allowed to work for another company during my annual leave?
No, you are not allowed to work for another company during your Annual Leave or Vacations.
If you get caught while working for another company, your Company/Employer or Sponsor has the right to terminate your service without any notice.

Q 10: What if I worked for same company during Annual Leave Holiday?
As per Ministry of Labour Article 78, “if Employee made to work during his/her Annual Leave Holidays, he/she should get paid in cash on basis of his/her basic salary”.

Check: UAE Labour Card Online

Q 11: Can I entitled for Sick Leave during Probationary Period?
As per UAE LABOUR LAW Article 83 “During the probationary period, the employee is not entitled to any paid sick leave, If the employee spends over three months after completion of the probationary period, in the continuous service of employer, and falls sick during this period, he becomes entitled to a sick leave not more than 90 days either continuous or intermittent per each year or service, computed as follows:
A. The first 15 days with full pay.
B. The next 30 days, with half pay.
C. The subsequent period, without pay.



Article 78 Stated: “However if the exigencies of work necessitate that the employee works during his annual leave in whole or in part, and the period of leave during which he has worked, has not been carried forward to the next year, the employer ought to pay him his wage in addition to cash in lieu of leave for his working days based on his basic pay.

Q 12: Do we eligible for Housing and other Allowances during Annual Leave?
Yes, Employees are entitled for Basic salary and Housing allowance during annual leave.

Article 78 stated: “An employee shall be paid his basic wage plus the housing allowance, if applicable, and any other allowances which he receives in the normal working month.

      Let say your annual leave falls on 5 Jan-4 Feb (yearly)
      Did you receive your full salary by Jan 31 like the normal month?
      if yes, that is your annual leave payment. some companies i believe don't pay you outright; in this case, dec salary + leave salary by dec 31

They should br giving the same amount of my monthly salary. But they refused and mentiioned that they will only provide "Basic Salary" during my Annual leave. Is that legal?

    ReplyDelete

    1. They are providing you ticket, it is not written in Law.
      and yes they are violating if they are not giving you a leave salary.
      You will have to get 2 salaries from them once you completed your 1 year with them.
      1 Salary for the month you worked (30 days)
      1 Salary for one year that you completed with them.

      You can call to Ministry of Labour Toll Free Number at 800665 for confirmation.

  23. Hi,
    My company are willing to pay me for my annual leave. What made me confused is instead of going back to my country to spend my 30 days leave, i decided and to stay in the country (UAE) and just file local leave. But my company is giving me 5 days (local leave) that will be deducted to my annual leave pay where as i will only recieve 24 days for my annual leave pay because i used 1 of the holiday recently.( in total of 6 days leave) How is it possible? Because as i understood, i have 30 days leave plus 1 month vacation leave pay and not to be deducted even you don't go back to your home country.

    Looking forward to hear from you soon.

    Thanks & best regards

      the Month you have worked for them, it may be July as per You.
      and second salary is Your Annual Leave Salary,

      Tickets fare are not written in Mol Articles, its up to company and you, many companies are providing annual leave with full pay and ticket expenses while few of them only giving annual salary without ticket.

  53. Please note many companies are in violation of UAE Labour Law by paying only Basic salary, you should be paid both your normal (Basic) salary and Annual Salary as well.
    Good day! Sir what do you mean by this basic salary and annual salary?Does this mean that the employee should get 2x of the amount of his monthly salary?

    in my case, i completed my 1 year in the company last 10 July 2016 but i will consume my leave on 7th December 2016 to 4 January 2017 (1 month exact).
    Am i still entitled for Annual Leave pay? 1 month salary (working month) + 1 month annual leave pay?

  63. Leave Salary for House allowance should be on total days entitled for leave or only on actual days of leave.
    e.g. leave entitled for 30 days if I plan go only 15 days, so I should be paid housing for 30 days or 15 days.

  64. Sir/ Ma'am,
    Good day, I just want to share this with u, my company after the staff's vacation our office gets their leave salary once they report on duty (the staffs are required to return their leave allowance)..This is unjustifiable right? I'm already 4 years in my company, the first 2 years i finished it (i didn't renewed my contract) but i got my priviledges after it including the gratuity and the 2 yrs annual leave that was supposed to give before. Then, when I was in my country I decided to comeback to their company and they accepted me, they answered my employment visa and ticket. Now, I finished my 2 yrs again with them and I decided to get my vacation next yr that would be 3 yrs already, so shall I get my 3 yrs annual leave because I'm planning for 3 months vacation and how about my ticket? Does the MOL sets limit for airfare for each staff of the company? Do I have the right to get all those priviledges again and the 3 months vacation? And one thing they giving us once a month full day off and 4 halfdays a month.. Can we get those days that they didnt grant our off per week (is it included in the gratuity after the contract?).. Honestly, I know some rules here coz whenever situations that bothers me I ask to MOL representatives but like our situation in the company the staffs are afraid to cpmplain, afraid to lost their jobs.. Please help us to resolve our problems.. I'm looking forward for your response.. Thank u.. Godbless u all. Have a nice day:)

    1. As per Law you are allowed to live 3 months.
      As per Law you are entitled for 3 Leave Salaries.
      As per Law, if you have signed a contract with written Air Ticket in it, you will get it.
      as per our Experience and Practice, mostly companies are paying Return Air Ticket fare to employees who didn't travel or took holidays for more than 2 years.
      So, as you said you have not traveled for 3 years, you are entitled for all.
      Good Luck, still confused, write us back.

I'm eligible for 30 days this year but I'm only taking the half this time & the balance later this year. Our HR said it's not possible to get the salary + leave salary if my leave is less than 20 days and before the payroll date. Is this according to UAE Labour Law?

  123. Hi UAE Labour. Just a point of clarification cause I think most (if not all) UAE companies are not abiding with Article 80 or the Annual Leave Salary. And reading the comments, many are confused. So, let us itemized and put a situation.
    Example I will go Annual Leave on 29Sept to 28Oct 2016.
    1. Sept salary - i will get in Sept month-end, right?
    2. Oct salary - i will get upon return. October month-end, right?
    3. Annual Leave Salary - is this different from Sept and Oct salary?
    4. If yes in #3, is it safe to say that the Annual Leave Salary is like a "bonus" given to all employees who completed one year of service?

    Please enlighten us. Thank you!

  136. Dear UAE Labour Law:
    I joined the company since September 2005 as as Administrative Assistant. My visa is Archive Clerk currently. If Im not mistaken, in 2009 we were covered by a national salary increment in UAE (Thanks!). In 2012, they changed my title to Executive Secretary. I have vacation leave every year as per written in my contract, BUT the company never pay one month annual leave days plus my regular monthly salary. My 1st question: How can I request a 1 month paid annual leave and my monthly salary from 2005 to 2016 without hassle from my company? I don't think any company does pay for annual leave plus regular salary. Anybody can help me for this please.
    2nd question: Our salary has been delayed many times for two years now. Last July 2016 salary, we received it on August 21, that's annoying! The September salary is still not received upto this time, 10th of October 2016. Any action with this kind of employer/company? We are all working hard but never been appreciated. Please advise.

    2. i started working with them 1 oct 14 till 19 sept 2016. How much is my gratuity. Unlimited contract. Employer ask us to resign but never initiated to resign.

  141. Dear Sir/Madam,

    I am working as a Babysitter here in UAE. My Employer just asked me to sign a document but did not let me read it. Now she's saying that my contract is 2 years, therefore I am thinking that the document I signed was the Contract. I am working from around 6am to around 11pm everyday. I already asked my Employer to give me a copy of my Contract but until now she's not giving me. Please, enlighten me regarding the below:
    1. Is there something else I can or should do so I can have a copy of my Contract?
    2. How many hours should I be working per day? 6am to 11pm is very long hours. Is there anything I can do about this?
    3. Am I entitled for a weekly day off?
    4. I am working here for more than 7 months now, if I wish to cancel my contract and go back to my country, is there anything I will pay to my Employer? I went here in UAE under a Tourist Visa and got a job here.

    I am hoping to hear from you. Thank you and God bless.

  150. Good Day,

    My sister is on her 1st time vacation after 4 years of working in Company X. She is supposed to be back this 6th of February but she received an SMS from their HR giving her instruction that she needs to extend her vacation indefinitely due to manpower issue. Further, the HR/Company X will give her the advice when to fly back here in Dubai. She was also told that the ticket is already cancelled and should she comes back on her own expenses with out the Company X's permission, she will be facing problems.

    Sir, The vacation was preplanned and approved by the management,can Company X legally extend the leave with indefinite schedule while my sister is on her vacation? My sister has dependents that needs financial support, will she receive the vacation pay until she will be advised to return to work? If she will fly back on her own expenses, what problem will she be facing as being told to her?

    Need your expert advice.

    Respectfully,

    last time I went on vacations but the company gave me only leave salary but they kept my one month salary and after coming back from vacation they gave that salary.
    so they have the right to keep one salary when you are leaving for annual leave

    If eid holiday is 12th, 13th, 14th, and i apply for vacation from 15th, will i not get my eid holiday pay?
    My employer has considered 12th, 13th, 14th, as part of my vacation and deducted my salary.
    same case for moharram and new year holiday.

    is this right? or should I be asking for these holiday pays?

  158. Hi i just want to clarify because im a bit confused. Here is the scenario.

    I will be 2 years of service in my company on June 10 2017 but didnt took my annual leave of my choice. After completing my 2years only i will take 1 month leave. So i have 1month unused leave. My question is will i receive any for my unused leave?

    Is the calculation like this?

    1st year completed:
    1) 1month full salary(leave pay) for the 1st year completed.
    2) 1month salary for my unused leave (basic+housing)

    2nd year completed:

    1. 1month full salary(leave pay) for every 1year completed
    2) plus actual days worked(ex. 20days)

    Is this correct?

    Thanks in advance.
