Exchanging Shifts No employee is permitted to exchange shifts with another employee without the manager's prior authorization. Overtime As necessary, employees may be required to work overtime. All overtime work must be previously discussed and approved by your manager. Pay Advances Payroll advances are not permitted during the probation period, after successful completion of the probation period you may request for payroll advance that cannot exceed 50% of your basic salary. The request requires pre- approval from your direct manager, DHR and DOF. Annual Leave Your annual leave entitlement is according to Article (29) of UAE Labor Law. Because we want you to have time off, pay will not be given in lieu of annual leave. Annual Leave must be taken in the year it becomes due. Outstanding entitlements cannot be carried forward to the next year without prior approval from your Guidance Team Member and the Director of Human Resources. We encourage you to plan your Annual Leave well in advance. A written request must be made at least one month in advance and is subject to the approval of your Department Head. We will make every effort to accommodate you; however, business necessity will dictate when you take your Annual Leave. Please note that ticket request should be submitted two months prior the planned leave.
Official Holidays All employees qualify for approximately 14 Official Paid Public Holidays, accordingly to the law. Because we are an industry that operates seven days a week, an employee may be required to work on an official holiday. If an employee works on an official holiday, he/ she will be entitled for a day off in lieu.
