Leave Management
Automate every leave type, enforce UAE Labour Law accrual rules and give employees full self-service visibility — all in one platform built for Dubai and the GCC.
Everything You Need to Manage Leave
Eight powerful features covering every leave scenario for UAE and GCC employers.
Annual, Sick & Maternity Leave
All statutory leave types — annual, sick, maternity, paternity, emergency and unpaid — configured to UAE entitlements out of the box.
UAE Holiday Calendar
Built-in UAE public holiday calendar updated annually. Hijri dates are automatically accounted for when officially declared by the government.
Balance Tracking
Real-time leave balance dashboards for employees and HR — accrued, taken, pending and remaining days displayed at a glance.
Manager Approvals
Multi-level approval workflows with email and in-app notifications. Managers approve, decline or delegate in seconds from any device.
Leave Encashment
Automatic encashment calculations on termination or annual carryover — aligned with UAE Labour Law payout rules and synced to payroll.
Employee Self-Service
Staff submit requests, upload sick certificates and track approval status independently — reducing HR admin load significantly.
UAE Labour Law Accrual
Automatic accrual at the statutory 2.5 days/month rate, with the correct 30-day entitlement applied after one year of service as required by Federal Decree-Law No. 33.
Leave Reports
Exportable reports for absences, leave liability, department utilisation and audit trails — ready for MOHRE inspection or internal review.
How It Works
Three steps from leave request to approved — fully automated.
Employee Requests
The employee logs in via the self-service portal or mobile, selects the leave type, picks dates and submits — the system checks available balance instantly.
Manager Approves
The line manager receives an instant notification, reviews team coverage and approves or declines with a single click — no email chains needed.
Records Update
Balances adjust automatically, payroll is notified, the attendance register is updated and a compliance-ready audit trail is logged — zero manual work.
