Can I claim compensation from the employer if he terminates me with a shorter notice?
I moved from another country for a job almost 6 months ago. Based on the offer letter and employment contract I received and signed, I agreed to a 3-month probation and a 3-month notice period before coming to Dubai.
Upon arriving in Dubai, I was then given a MOL contract which I was told was standard 6 months probation. I was told at 3 months that I had passed my probation.
I have just come to my 6-month mark (just before my exact 6-month date) and have been told I did not pass my probation and have been given 14 days' notice.
Where do I stand?
The employer is not negotiating and is stating it is standing by the MOL agreement and not the employment contract.
The company has bounced between the 2 agreements in order to suit its own interests.

During this time, the employer has the right to terminate the employee without prior notice, except for payment for days worked.

Hence the issue is a little bit complex, the court will consider both the contracts.
The employment contract in the beginning it was mentioned 3-month probation and in the MOL it states about 6-month probation.

Dear.
The contract with the most recent date is the one that is applicable because you signed it, which means you agree to the condition of the probationary period (6) months, and the old contract is considered canceled.
