Terminating an employee's contract without notice and offering a reduced EoSB
My company is registered under Tecom media city. They terminated me without proper notice and are asking me to agree on end of service benefits based on a reduced salary. I have never signed any contract for a reduced salary.
They also asked to sign a form in which it is written that all dues are cleared and they will pay me money over 9 months of equal installments. What should I do as I am in financial trouble? It's difficult to hire a full-time lawyer and stay without money in the UAE.
Can anyone help me to understand whether it is fruitful to fight against the employer and how much time it takes under COVID-19 circumstances?
Dear questioner,
Any termination which is not related to your performance can be termed as arbitrary dismissal wherein you can claim salary up to 3 months in lieu of arbitrary dismissal.
Further, EoSB has to be calculated on the basis of employment contract.
If need be, kindly contact us via phone for a detailed discussion or write us an email for further assistance.
Dear questioner,
The company offer shall be considered as an offer, take it, or refuse it. However, the legal action may take 3 to 6 months (Frist stage court) to obtain a judgment from the court and after that, the company may challenge the judgment before appeal court and in such a case, it may take further 2 to 3 months and then enforcement stage.
Dear client,
Thanks for your query!
I hope you are fine. It may take 4-5 months normally to go for a case. You can switch your Job and take a temporary work permit from the judge to save your time.
