A practical overview of annual leave tracking for UAE companies — balances, approvals, and why clean records matter before payroll or end of service.
Annual leave is a core employee right under UAE labour rules. Employers who track accruals, approvals, and remaining balances reduce disputes, protect managers from informal promises, and keep payroll corrections smaller when leave affects pay.
Clear start dates, policy assignment, approved requests, rejected requests with reasons, and remaining balances visible to employee and manager. Bilingual Arabic/English screens help mixed teams avoid misunderstanding.
EQUINOVA HR centralizes leave requests, balances, and approvals inside the same tenant-isolated workspace used for attendance and payroll preparation — so HR does not juggle spreadsheets across tools.
No. This guide is educational. Confirm entitlements and special cases with qualified UAE labour counsel or MOHRE guidance for your situation.

Start with a bilingual leave workflow, then expand to attendance and payroll when needed.
