The working

Which wage the law uses, and when

On leave. The full monthly wage, so the person is paid as if they were working. A 30 day leave pays one normal month.

At the end of service. Only the basic salary, for each unused day. Allowances drop out of this payment.

The daily rate. The law does not print a divisor; dividing a month by 30 is the method UAE payrolls use most. If your contract sets another method, follow the contract. For a dispute, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation decides.

Questions

Asked by clinic managers in the UAE

How is leave salary calculated in the UAE?
Divide the monthly wage by 30 to get a daily rate, then multiply by the leave days. For leave taken while employed, Gulf News reads Article 29 as paying the full wage, basic salary plus allowances, so 30 days of leave pays a normal month.
What is unused leave worth when someone leaves the clinic?
Unused annual leave is paid out on the basic salary only, without housing or other allowances. On a basic of AED 6,000, ten unused days come to AED 2,000.
How many days of annual leave does a UAE employee get?
At least 30 days a year after a full year of service, and 2 days for each month worked when service is between six months and a year. Work out the days with the annual leave calculator
Can unused leave be carried over?
Up to half of the year's leave can be carried into the next year, or swapped for pay by agreement, under the executive regulations of the labour law. Leave cannot be blocked for more than two years.
