Termination of limited labour contract by the employer

Salam!

I have a Limited Labor Contract with LLC company in Dubai till 01.05.17 as a Project Manager. The salary that is stated in my labor contract is much less than I agreed with CFO to work for. Never was paid in full as per our "Gentleman's Agreement".

After I raised this matter to CFO of the company they urgently want to terminate my contract. There was no Letters nor Warnings!

What am I entitled to in this case and what is the algorithm of my actions?

Thank you very much for your advice!

Well, initially, do you have any kind of documents, emails, witness to prove the salary you have discussed with the CFO "Gentleman's Agreement"?

In the event they terminated the contract, you will have the right to file a case and claim for 3 months full salary as illegal termination in addition to 1-month salary (notice period) in addition to other entitlements (annual, tickets etc.)

Said termination must be in writing or by actions that will force you to resign or leave, one of which is not giving the full salary.
