A UAE leave policy draft for your handbook, emailed when you confirm
Annual, sick, maternity, parental, Hajj, study, and bereavement wording that follows the UAE Government leave page dated 14 Oct 2026. A KSA page with blanks. Not legal advice.
Everyone who confirms their email gets this template. No paid plan is needed. The bot comes later. The policy is the part you can use today.
What arrives
UAE annual leave. 30 days after one year of service. 2 days per month after six months and before one year. Leave for the fraction of the last year on exit. Unused days paid at basic wage. Carry-over only with employer consent. A blank for whether you are kinder than the law.
UAE sick leave. Up to 90 days after probation: 15 at full pay, 30 at half pay, 45 unpaid. Notice within 3 days and a medical report. Unpaid leave only during probation, with a blank if you grant more.
Maternity, parental, Hajj, study, bereavement. Maternity is 60 days, 45 at full pay and 15 at half pay. Parental leave is 5 working days. Hajj leave is unpaid, up to 30 days, once per employer. Study leave is 10 working days a year with the official conditions. Bereavement is 5 days for a spouse and 3 days for a parent, child, sibling, grandchild, or grandparent. Nursing breaks appear as a pointer to the official page, not as a leave type.
KSA companion page. Headings for annual leave, sick leave, national occasions, and Hajj. The numbers are blanks for you and your adviser to fill in. We would rather send empty fields than a confident wrong number.
Hijri public holiday sheet. Empty rows for Eid al-Fitr, Arafat Day, Eid al-Adha, the Islamic New Year, the Prophet's Birthday, and any extra days the government announces. You date them when they are announced. New Year's Day and National Day are fixed Gregorian dates, listed apart. Team and up will keep the Hijri dates current in the product.
Cash on exit note. Unused annual leave is paid on exit at basic wage. One line warns that gratuity is separate and not in the template.
How to use it with the bot
Paste the UAE numbers into a Leave Keeper policy. Attach the UAE holiday calendar. Import opening balances with the CSV, 25 rows on Team. From then on, /leave is the only request path you accept. The template includes that sentence so the handbook and the bot do not argue.
What it is not
It is not a DIFC or ADGM policy, not a filing with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, and not advice on a termination. The official page can change. When it does, we update the emailed file. Your signed handbook does not update itself, so re-issue it.

FAQ
When does it launch?
No public date yet. Founding members get the invite first, by email, before anyone else.
Can I send this to my lawyer as is?
Send it as a draft. The footer says it follows the official UAE page dated 14 Oct 2026. A lawyer should still read it.
