• Key Concepts: 
  Iddah Leave is a type of leave available in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Payroll component of SAP. It is a period of time that a woman must wait after the death of her husband or the dissolution of her marriage before she can remarry. This period is usually three months, but can be extended to four months and ten days if the woman is pregnant. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP, Iddah Leave is set up as a special type of leave in the UAE Payroll component. It is configured in the same way as other types of leave, such as annual leave or sick leave. The employee's eligibility for Iddah Leave must be specified in the employee's master data, and the duration of the leave must be specified in the payroll configuration. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring Iddah Leave in SAP, it is important to ensure that the correct duration is specified. If the duration is too short, it may not comply with UAE law and could result in penalties for non-compliance.
