After 10 months with my company, can I access leave and ticket fare?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am an employee in a private firm, and I have completed 10 months. However, my company was taken over by another company. My company provides ticket fare at the month of the joining date.

I have over 20 leaves. But my old company says that I can't take my leave; if I take it, it will be paid, and I'm not eligible for ticket fare because I have not completed one year.

Please give me a proper answer!

Dear Questioner,

Yes, they are right; you have to complete one year to get one month's leave.

Dear Client,

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

Based on the information provided, as per UAE labor law, employees are entitled to annual leave accrual from the start of employment.

Since you've completed 10 months, you are eligible to take accrued leave. However, your entitlement to ticket fare may depend on your company's policy or employment contract terms.

Discuss this matter with HR or seek legal advice from us for clarification on your entitlements during the company transition.

For further information, you can contact us through WhatsApp.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED

Dear Questioner,

Regarding the ticket, it has to be mentioned in your employment contract.

If they deny the same; you can file a complaint with MOHRE. And regarding annual leave, you are eligible for the same according to the UAE labor law.

If you need further clarification, you may contact us.
