I work on an unlimited contract in a Dubai-based company. Currently, I am in India on an emergency leave. There are some legal issues I need to take care of. I have 10 days of paid leaves left, but I won't be able to go back and rejoin work within this period. I will have to avail of unpaid leaves. What's the maximum number of unpaid leaves I can take? This is a genuine emergency and I can provide documents to the company that prove the need for me to be here in India. Can I be fired for this? Please help.
