ArcHR
Leave Management for growing companies
Leave disputes often reach MOHRE when balances are wrong. ArcHR tracks entitlements per Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and KSA labour law.
How many annual leave days is a UAE employee entitled to?
UAE employees are entitled to 30 calendar days of annual leave after completing one year of service, per Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, Article 29. During the first year, leave accrues pro-rata. ArcHR calculates accrued and remaining balance automatically.
How ArcHR handles leave
Configure leave policies by country, track balances per employee, route requests to managers, and sync approved leave with payroll and attendance. Employees submit requests from the ESS mobile app.
Avoid MOHRE leave disputes
Documented leave records protect employers in labour disputes. ArcHR stores approval history, balance snapshots, and policy rules — audit-ready when MOHRE or HRSD reviews your files.
