Leave Requests and Approvals

A leave process your UAE employees and managers will actually use

End the paper forms, WhatsApp messages, and email chains for leave requests. XRERO gives every employee a self-service portal to check their balance, request leave in seconds, and receive instant notifications — while managers approve with a single tap on their phone.

Employee Self-Service Portal in Arabic and English

Every employee logs in to see their exact leave balance, submit new requests, view approved and pending requests, and check the team availability calendar — in Arabic or English, from any device.

Multi-Level Approval Workflows

Configure approval chains that match your UAE company structure — direct manager, department head, and HR sign-off for long annual leave. Requests escalate automatically if not actioned within your set response window.

Overlap and Coverage Conflict Alerts

XRERO automatically warns managers when two or more team members request overlapping dates — preventing critical roles from being left uncovered and flagging coverage risks before they are approved.

UAE Leave Policy Compliance

Every UAE leave type pre-configured and MOHRE compliant

UAE Labour Law has specific rules for every leave type — annual leave accruals, sick leave tiers, maternity leave, hajj leave, and study leave. XRERO comes pre-loaded with all UAE-compliant leave policies so you never need to configure them manually or risk an MOHRE audit finding.

Team Calendar and Planning

Always know who is in, out, or on leave across your UAE teams

XRERO's team availability calendar gives managers and HR a live view of exactly who is working and who is on leave — across every department, every UAE location, and every day of the year. Plan project staffing, client meetings, and critical deadlines around actual team availability with confidence.

Live Team Availability Calendar

See all approved and pending leave across your UAE team on a monthly calendar view — colour-coded by leave type, department, and location. Plan resource allocation around actual availability, not assumptions.

UAE Public Holiday Auto-Calendar

UAE official public holidays are automatically blocked in the leave calendar every year — including Eid Al Fitr, Eid Al Adha, Islamic New Year, National Day, and others. No manual updates required when holiday dates are announced.

Minimum Staffing Level Enforcement

Set minimum coverage rules — for example, at least 3 sales agents must be present at all times. XRERO automatically blocks leave approvals that would breach your minimum staffing levels for any team or department.

WPS Payroll Integration

Leave approved — payroll updated automatically

Because XRERO Time Off is built into the same ERP as your HR and payroll modules, every leave approval is immediately reflected in that month's WPS salary run. Unpaid leave is deducted, leave encashment is calculated, and salary slips are updated — no manual intervention, no calculation errors.

Automatic Unpaid Leave Deductions

Unpaid leave is automatically calculated as a daily rate deduction from that month's WPS salary. The finance team sees the adjusted amount in payroll before approving the salary run — transparent, accurate, and fully auditable.

Leave Encashment on Resignation

When an employee resigns, XRERO automatically calculates accrued but unused annual leave days and adds the encashment amount to the final settlement payment — fully compliant with UAE Labour Law gratuity and settlement rules.

Leave Liability Reporting for Finance

Get a real-time report of your total outstanding leave liability in AED — the value of all accrued but untaken annual leave across every UAE employee. Essential for accurate financial reporting and audit readiness.

MOHRE Audit-Ready Reports

What UAE HR Teams Say About XRERO Time Off

"Before XRERO we processed leave requests through WhatsApp and Excel. Mistakes were constant and we were always worried about MOHRE compliance. Now every leave type, every accrual, and every public holiday is handled automatically. Our HR team saved 2 full working days per month."

Hamad Al-Shamsi

HR Manager, Gulf Retail Group Dubai

"The WPS payroll integration is what makes XRERO Time Off stand apart. Unpaid leave deductions appear in the payroll run automatically. Leave encashment for resigned employees is calculated instantly. Our finance team no longer recalculates anything manually. Zero errors since we went live."

Saeed Al-Nuaimi

Finance Director, Apex Trading Abu Dhabi

"We have 3 offices across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. The team availability calendar shows me exactly who is in across all three locations in real time. The minimum staffing rules mean I never accidentally approve leave that leaves a branch short. Complete peace of mind."

Mansoor Al-Kaabi

COO, Emirates Services Group

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything UAE businesses want to know about XRERO Time Off.

Is XRERO Time Off compliant with UAE Labour Law Federal Decree No. 33 of 2021?
Yes. XRERO Time Off is pre-configured with all leave entitlements defined under UAE Labour Law Federal Decree No. 33 of 2021 — including 30 days annual leave, 90-day tiered sick leave, hajj leave, study leave, maternity and paternity leave, and UAE official public holidays. All accrual rules and entitlement calculations are maintained automatically by the system and updated when UAE legislation changes.
How does XRERO calculate and deduct unpaid leave in WPS payroll?
When unpaid leave is approved in XRERO, the system automatically calculates the daily rate based on the employee's monthly salary and deducts the correct amount from that month's WPS payroll run. Finance managers see the adjusted salary figure before approving the payroll. The deduction is also logged in the employee's payslip with a clear unpaid leave line item for full transparency.
Can employees submit leave requests in Arabic?
Yes. The XRERO employee self-service portal is fully bilingual — Arabic and English. Employees can view their leave balances, submit requests, and receive approval notifications entirely in Arabic with correct right-to-left text rendering. Managers can also review and approve requests in either language from the same portal or mobile app.
How does annual leave encashment work when an employee resigns in the UAE?
When an employee resignation is processed in XRERO HR, the system automatically calculates all accrued but untaken annual leave days and computes the encashment value based on the employee's daily salary rate. This amount is added to the final settlement calculation alongside gratuity and any other outstanding entitlements — fully compliant with UAE Labour Law rules on leave encashment on termination.
Can I manage leave for employees across multiple UAE locations?
Yes. XRERO supports multi-location leave management across all UAE emirates and branch offices. Each location can have its own leave policy configuration if needed, while the central HR dashboard shows total team availability across all sites simultaneously. Minimum staffing rules can be set per location to ensure each branch maintains adequate coverage independently.
