labour entitlements in case of termination for redundancy

I am writing this mail to clarify my redundancy termination and end benefits. I had been working with a construction and maintenance LLC from the period of 01-09-2015 to 15-04-2020.

I have received a termination letter on 15-04-2020, the reason mentioned is due to redundancy. As informed by the company HR department, I am eligible to get one month notice period salary and end benefits.

Could you please make me understand the below query in conjunction with the UAE labour law?

In redundancy termination as per the UAE labour law, is the employee eligible for any kind of compensation apart from the notice period payment?

Any kind of 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.

The dismissal of a worker, in contrast to Article 120 of the Labor Law, requires compensation for the arbitrary dismissal from one to three months, in addition to the warning period, end of service gratuity and leave allowance.
