Early leave during COVID-19

The UAE Government is allowing expatriate workers in the private sector to go to their home countries and return when the COVID-19 cases reduce. Employees can apply for an early leave by submitting an application for annual leave or agreeing with their employer for unpaid leave. Read about the conditions and procedures for applying for an early leave.

Note: The above was implemented during the early phase of pandemic (in 2020) and was slowly phased out as the situation returned to normalcy.
