not just the dashboards

📅
Cut-Off Collision Warnings
Leave that collides with the payroll cut-off flagged so retrospective adjustments are avoided.

Common Questions

Frequently asked
questions

How much annual leave are GCC employees entitled to?+
Entitlements differ by market. In the UAE, employees completing one year of service are commonly entitled to 30 calendar days per year, with a reduced entitlement between six and twelve months. AmalOps configures statutory minimums per market and entity, and supports more generous contractual terms.
Yes. Carry-forward caps and expiry periods are configured per entity and applied automatically, which removes the case-by-case negotiation that causes most leave disputes.
Yes, and this matters more than it sounds. Most leave disputes arise because the employee believed they had a different balance. Self-service shows the same figure the system calculated, with the accrual history behind it.
Yes. Unused leave is an obligation the employer will eventually settle, so AmalOps carries it as a live provision reconciled to your finance figure rather than leaving it to be discovered at exit.
Whether an unpaid period pauses or interrupts continuous service is configured per entity and applied consistently to both leave accrual and end-of-service service length, with the basis documented.
