We would like to inform you that in accordance with the UAE Labor Law and with regard to sick leave, yes, you shall obtain a medical certificate explaining the health condition for you with a statement stating the day of your rest from work so that the employer does not deduct any money for absenteeism.
** With regard to sick leave is legally organized according to the following legal provisions:
Article 83:
1. A worker shall not be entitled to any paid sick leave during the probationary period.
2. A worker who contracts illness after completing three months, following the probationary period, in the continuous service of an employer shall be entitled to a sick leave not exceeding 90 days, successive or otherwise, in respect of each year of service, to be calculated as follows.
• The first 15 days: with full pay.
• The next 30 days: with half pay.
• Any subsequent periods: without pay.
Article 84
No wage shall be payable for sick leave if the illness is the direct result of the worker's misconduct (such as consumption of alcohol or narcotic drugs).
Article 85
An employer may terminate the services of a worker who fails to report back to work after exhausting all sick leaves provided for in Articles 82, 83 and 84 hereof. In this case the worker shall be entitled to severance pay as stipulated in this Law.
Article 86
Where a worker resigns his job, by reason of illness, before the lapse of the first 45 days of his sick leave and the government medical officer or the medical practitioner designated by the employer accepts the cause of resignation, the employer shall pay the worker the wage due in respect of the remainder of the first 45 days referred to.

If the next day falls on the day of the holiday, it is not permissible to work during it, and therefore the request of the employer is considered to be in violation of the law unless there is an emergency order that may harm the interests of the work and is considered an additional work for which he is entitled to the extra pay according to the law
