Leave salary when working the whole year without vacation

Mam,

I want to know in a limited contract if an employee will not go for leave after one year due to staff shortage in the company or any other issue like Covid, so when the visa expires after 2 years, will the employee get leave salary along with gratuity?

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for contacting me!

As per the UAE labor law, you are entitled to receive your annual leave for a maximum period of 2 years.

Please read art. 79 wherein it is mentioned that:

"A worker who is dismissed or who leaves his job after the period of notice prescribed by law shall be paid for any accrued annual leave days. Such payment shall be calculated on the basis of the worker’s wage as on the date when the leave became due."

Regards,
