Basically, is a paid period that companies grant to their employees. The employee may decide the purpose to which they desire to use it, for example, they can use it to travel to their home country, for vacations, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it\u2019s a time that many employees look forward to it, so as an employer, you must know how to deal with it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_What_are_the_leave_entitlements_of_an_employee_According_to_UAE_Labour_Law\"><\/span>3.

The provision about this is in the Article 75 of the Labor Law.

In addition, it could include public holidays and\/or weekends if they fall within these 30 days.

However, they should know that according to the Law, they\u2019re not entitled to a flight ticket.<\/p>\n<p>But, if the company\u2019s policies establish that the employee can receive a flight ticket, then they have to do it.

In accordance with Article 89, the employee won&#8217;t get the wage for the period of his or her absence. It\u2019s important to note that these apply to the days that follows to the end of the annual leave.<\/p>\n<h3>7.4 What about employee termination and annual leave?<\/h3>\n<p>An employee should receive the payment of their annual leave if they terminate their services, but he or she receives the wages for the annual leave that he or she haven\u2019t taken.<\/p>\n<p>So, when it comes to the <strong>UAE Labour Law termination<\/strong>, it\u2019s essential to revise the company\u2019s policies to determine how to act regarding this matter.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/connectresources.ae\/know-the-best-tips-for-global-mobility-in-abu-dhabi\/\"><strong>Learn more about the top recommendations for global mobility<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>7.5 May the employee work for another company during the annual leave?<\/h3>\n<p>Employees have to be careful with this, <a href=\"https:\/\/u.ae\/en\/information-and-services\/jobs\/terminating-employment-contracts\">since according to Article 88<\/a>, employees may not work for another employer during the annual leave.
