What are my labour entitlements upon termination?

Hi Sir,

Please, can you help me understand the following below?

I have been terminated from my company in Sharjah. I worked for them for 1 year and 7 months.

They had made me sign one letter on their official letterhead that they have terminated me and will be giving a grace period of one month.

This was a week ago. After this, now they have made me sign the cancellation letter for closing the contract.

What benefits will I get? Am I entitled to gratuity and termination fee?

Please, can you help me understand the Law of termination in Dubai, so that if in any part they wrong I could take legal action if required?

Hello.

If you have completed 1 full year of employment contract, you are entitled to EOSB.

You should not sign any documents before receiving all dues from the company, including EOSB.

You may use the following link to know the amount of your EOSB:
