Oakland configures Odoo to calculate gratuity per UAE labor law: 21 days of basic salary for each completed year in the first 5 years, and 30 days for each year after that. The system handles limited vs unlimited contracts, resignation vs termination, prorated periods, and caps gratuity at 2 years' total salary. Provisions are tracked monthly in accounting.
Can Odoo HR track Emiratization ratios?
Yes. Oakland configures nationality-based reporting dashboards that show your Emirati workforce percentage in real time. Track progress against Nafis targets, monitor hiring pipelines for Emirati candidates, and generate reports for MOHRE submissions. Alerts notify HR when ratios drop below required thresholds.
