The problem

Leave asked on WhatsApp cannot be counted

Request, balance and team calendar sit together, so a trip is planned on facts.

  • Every request has a date, type and answer
  • Balances move only with approved leave
  • Payroll reads the same days HR approved

The rules, already in

UAE leave types, the law's numbers built in

Each type knows its days and pay. Change what your contracts say differently.

A year after the first year of service; 2 days a month between six months and a year.

90daysSick leave

A year after probation: 15 on full pay, 30 on half pay, 45 unpaid.

60daysMaternity leave

45 days on full pay and 15 on half pay.

5working daysParental leave

5 / 3daysBereavement

5 days for a spouse; 3 for a parent, child, sibling, grandchild or grandparent.

10working daysStudy leave

Figures from Federal Decree-Law 33 of 2021. Every leave type can be changed to match your contracts, and DIFC and ADGM companies, which have their own employment law, get their own rules. This is a summary, not legal advice.

Common questions

Does it follow UAE labour law?

Leave types come set up with the figures in Federal Decree-Law 33 of 2021, and you can change any to match your contracts. DIFC and ADGM companies get their own rules.

Does unpaid leave come off the salary on its own?

Yes. Approved unpaid days, and sick days on half pay, are picked up by the month's payroll run and carried into the WPS file.

Does every employee need a user account?

Only those who log in. Staff who ask from their phone are users. For teams without accounts, HR or a supervisor enters the request, and balances and payroll work the same.

What does it cost?

AED 99 per user a month (AED 83 on the annual plan), with HR and payroll included. Set-up by our team is optional, from AED 2,999.
