Terminating an employee's limited contract due to poor performance
Hi,
I am working on a 2-year limited contract in an LLC company, Abu Dhabi as a vehicle sales executive.
Now I have completed nineteen months in this company and my employer has given me a warning letter based on performance.
My question is: can the employer terminate me before the contract expiry? and if he terminates me based on performance, do I get three months' salary and get a labor ban in this case?
I hold a bachelor's degree.
Dear questioner,
If the employer terminates you on the basis of your performance, you can't claim 3 months' salary as compensation.
Kindly contact us via phone for a detailed discussion or write us an email for further assistance.
The employer is setting grounds so that he ends up terminating you and does not end up paying compensation. Anyone can end a limited contract provided you are ready to pay compensation for premature termination.
To avoid payment of compensation, the employer will send you a few performance-related warnings and finally terminate you under article 120 and 110 of the labor law.
So if you have something to say in your defense, you should reply. If you feel your performance is NOT MEETING THE "AGREED TARGET" then you should be prepared to look for another job.
If the notice period is completed or complied and you have worked for more than a year, then there is no labor ban.
All the best!
