Annual Leave Processing

The Hour Type screen has the option to calculate annual leave based on either “Wage”, “Partial Package”, or “Full Package”. The UAE and its regions have various types of leaves paid for employees. Some of them are regulated by the UAE labour law, such as annual leave. For annual leave, the worker must receive their basic salary in addition to a housing allowance if such an allowance is stipulated in the contract.

Employees are entitled to an annual leave of:

• 2.5 days per month, if they have completed six months of service, but not one year.

• 30 days, if they have completed one year of service.

The calculation of the duration of annual leave will include official holidays specified by law or by agreement and any other leaves caused by sickness if they fall within the annual leave.

In order to use this calculation method, the following pre-requisites need to be met:

1. Alternate workdays must be setup for seven working days as per Dubai region.

   

2. Annual leave setup is required, as shown in the example below.

   

   

3. The Hour Types screen should be setup to have annual leaves based on wage, partial package, and full package just like AL1, AL2, and AL3 below.
