What is Sick Leave (UAE)?
Paid and unpaid medical leave available to UAE private sector employees after completing probation. The current law allows up to 90 days of sick leave per year, typically the first 15 days on full pay, the next 30 on half pay and the remainder unpaid. A medical report is usually required. Entitlements and conditions can change, so confirm the position with MOHRE or a qualified adviser.
