How to guarantee my right in accrued leave days or payment
Dear Sir,
My contract is a fulltime employee for a company in the UAE, and my leave entitlement state 10 weeks work and 2 weeks off.
However, due to the COVID-19, I have been unable to take that leave and have accrued two months leave or 61 days with four flight tickets.
My question is, can my company legally cancel those accrued days at the start of the new year or would they have to pay me for those days?
Dear Inquirer,
We hope you are safe and well.
With regard to your query, please note that leave can be accrued but under certain conditions.
To ascertain your entitlement to cash in lieu of the accrued leave, we propose scheduling a consultation meeting to review your labour contract and discuss the details of your matter.
Should you require further information or wish to proceed with the consultation, please do not hesitate to get in touch via email and phone.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Ahmed Odeh
