Are teachers eligible for winter holiday pay in December after joining in August?

Dear Client,

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

Winter holiday pay for teachers in the UAE depends on their individual employment contracts and school policies. It's not mandated by labor law.

If the contract or school policies specify it, they are entitled to it; otherwise, it may not apply, especially if they haven't completed probation. Review individual contracts for clarity.

We will be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Questioner,

As per labor laws, the worker shall be entitled to official fully paid holidays on the official holidays.

So you will be entitled to the official holiday pay even if you are under probation period.

But it will be better to review your labor contracts to know if they mention anything additional or contrary.
