How to calculate the leave entitlement for an employee who leaves before one year?

If an employee works less than a year, how to calculate their leave entitlement till the end of the year?

Do the 2 days per month start from the joining date or after the 6 months probation period?

Dear User,

As per the UAE Labor Law, if an employee has completed six months of employment but not one year, they are entitled to two (2) days of paid leave for each month of the first year.

Hello,

We wish you a happy day.

Your entitlements are calculated from the first working day to the last working day in the notice period.

The end-of-service gratuity is calculated on the basis of the value of the last basic salary received by the employee.

This means that basic salary allocations such as housing, transportation, utilities, and furniture are not included.

Regards

The calculation is made on two days for each month from the date of the start of the contract and not after six months.
