Features
Leave managementAccurate balances, and requests approved without paper or scattered messages.
Madar leave management software handles your team's leave from request to approval: employees ask from the app and see their balance at once, the request reaches whoever approves it, and the balance is deducted automatically on approval. It applies the annual leave rule of the Saudi Labor Law: 21 days a year, rising to 30 after five years of service.

Frequently asked questions about leaves
How many days of annual leave is an employee entitled to in Saudi Arabia?
Under the Saudi Labor Law, an employee gets 21 days of paid annual leave, rising to 30 days after five years of service with the same employer. Madar calculates the balance on this basis automatically and shows it to the employee.
How do I track employees' leave balances without spreadsheets?
Madar keeps each employee's balance and updates it with every approved or cancelled request. Open the balances report to see what each person has left, and export it to Excel or PDF when you need it.
Can I create leave types specific to my company?
Yes. You create the types you need and set each one's name, rules and category, such as annual or sick, and employees see them when they request.
What happens to requests when the manager is on leave?
When a manager's leave is approved, approvals can move to their deputy for the length of that leave and return afterwards. You can also assign a deputy manually for any period.
Can a leave be cancelled after approval?
Yes. Employees can cancel their leave before it starts, and an administrator can remove days from it with a reason. In both cases the balance returns automatically.
