Application of Resolution 279 of 2020 on an employee serving the notice period

Hello,

I have been working in a local group in Dubai for the last 13 years under an unlimited contract. Recently, they have terminated my position, I am now serving 3 months notice period as per labor contract (2 months already served, I am now in the 3rd and last month).

My employer has put me on a forced paid leave to adjust my notice period against leave days balance. I need some clarification of the below:

1. The employer is paying me a full salary for the notice period of 3 months. However, based on the recent announcement from the Ministry of Labor (for Private Co. employees), can my employer reduce my salary temporarily/permanently for this last month of notice period?

2. If the answer to question 1 is YES, how will it impact the calculation of my end of service benefits like gratuity or leave balance encashment? will it be recalculated based on the revised (reduced) salary?

3. Am I eligible to claim any other termination/redundancy pay apart from gratuity and leave balance encashment?

Many Thanks!
