Fixed billing – An agreed fixed monthly invoice which is billed in full every month, regardless of whether the candidate takes annual (up to 22 working days) or sick leave (up to 15 working days) as per their annual statutory benefits entitlement according to the UAE labor law.
Consultant – Annual leave and sick leave is accrued so you are only billed when the candidate is on site and working.
