Annual & unpaid leave policy
Entitlement, accrual, carry-over, encashment and the approval route — with the unpaid-leave clause that most policies omit and every gratuity calculation depends on.
Resources
HR policy templates
The policies a UAE employer is asked for most often, drafted against the current framework and written to be edited — not a generic pack with the country name swapped.
Most policy packs on the internet are US or UK documents with the country name replaced. These are written for the UAE framework — which matters most in the clauses that touch pay: unpaid leave and service, sick-pay tiers, and what counts toward end of service.
They are starting points, not advice. Every one of them should be reviewed by your own counsel before it becomes your policy.
Attendance & overtime policy
Working week, shift patterns, punch requirements at site, lateness treatment and how overtime is requested, approved and rated.
Sick leave & medical evidence
The three pay tiers, notification timelines, and what medical evidence is required at which point.
Payroll & WPS process note
The internal control document: who locks the period, who reviews exceptions, who submits, and how the acknowledgement is filed.
Visa & document responsibility
Which documents the employer produces, which the employee must provide, and the notice periods on each renewal.
Disciplinary & grievance procedure
Stages, evidence, representation, records and retention — the procedure a tribunal would expect to see followed.
Probation & confirmation
Review points, notice during probation, and the confirmation letter that should follow rather than be forgotten.
Acceptable use & data handling
Systems, devices and personal data — including who may view salary and document records, which is the clause procurement reads.
Remote & hybrid working
Eligibility, hours, equipment, expenses and the attendance treatment that has to match what the system records.
How to get them
The pack is sent by email rather than published behind a download button, because we would rather know which policies you actually need and send the current version than leave a stale ZIP file on a server. Ask through the contact form or write to hello@kledhr.com and say which ones matter — we reply within one business day.
These templates are general information about UAE employment practice, not legal advice. Have your own counsel review anything you intend to rely on.
Or see the policies enforced rather than filed
Policy documents describe what should happen. The product is where the leave tier, the unpaid-leave exclusion and the approval chain actually run.
