Do weekends count in the annual leave calculation?

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

In the UAE, if an employee takes annual leave from November 13, 2023, to November 17, 2023, the annual leave should cover the working days within that period.

November 18th and 19th should not be considered part of the annual leave because they are not included in the requested leave dates.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED

Some companies count weekends as part of annual leave, while others do not.

If the company's policy does not specifically state whether or not weekends are counted as part of annual leave, then it is up to the manager to decide.

No, as his leave ends on 17/11/2023. After that, these particular dates will not included in annual leave.
