Compensation for terminating the limited contract by the employer
My husband was working on a limited contract. The company informed him that he is terminated because they no longer need his services.
He completed 1 year in March 30th 2020. The company informed him that his contract is renewed until Dec 2020 and he worked until April 30th 2020.
On April 30th 2020 they sacked him. They asked him to serve notice period until May 30th 2020.
Is he obliged to serve the notice period and what are the entitlements that he can claim?
Please advise.
Dear questioner,
As the reason for your husband's termination is not related to his performance, therefore, it can be treated as arbitrary dismissal wherein he can claim salary up to 3 months in lieu of arbitrary dismissal.
If need be, kindly contact us by phone for a detailed discussion or write to us at our email for further assistance.
Dear Client,
Thanks for your query.
I hope you are fine.
The limited contract can not be terminated before completion. If the contract is not finished, this is an illegal termination.
Secondly, in such a situation, the employer should pay a salary of 90 days as per the UAE labour law.
For further information, you can write us an email or call Whatsapp. We have a good team of local Emirati lawyers to handle all kinds of cases.
I am happy to help you. You can fix a personal meeting at our office.
Thanks and regards
