FAQ
Does this handle UAE public holidays?
Yes. UAE public holidays (National Day, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, etc.) are pre-loaded. Leave requests that overlap with holidays are adjusted.
What about sick leave without a form?
Managers can log sick leave on behalf of employees. The agent requests a medical certificate if sick leave exceeds 2 consecutive days per UAE labor law.
Can I set different leave policies by employee type?
Yes. Probation employees, full-time, and part-time staff can have different balance rules configured.
Does it handle leave encashment?
The agent tracks encashable balances. Actual encashment processing is flagged to HR for payroll action.
