Frequently Asked Questions

How many annual leave days do I get in the UAE?

30 days per year after one year of service. For service between six months and one year it is 2 days per month.

Are weekends and public holidays counted in the 30 days?

The pages we rely on do not say, so this calculator does not adjust for them. Check your contract and MOHRE.

Is unused leave paid?

Yes, in cash when employment ends. Use the leave encashment calculator.
