Labour rights for terminating a limited contract by the employer

Dear Sir,

My company made my position redundant due to the Coronavirus effect. I am under a limited contract.

With the end of service, they gave me one month notice period. Is it right or it should be 3 months?

Please clarify

Dear questioner,

As the company is terminating you for a reason not related to your performance, then the company needs to provide the employee with 3 months salary as compensation.

If need be, kindly contact us at by phone for a detailed discussion or write to us at our email for further assistance.

Dear Questioner,

Based on your facts above, if your employer terminates your limited employment contract before its expiry without cause, and they fail to follow the new guidelines of Ministerial Resolution No. 279, you will be entitled to arbitrary dismissal and three months' payment.

Please approach MOHRE and file a complaint against your employer.
