Making an employee redundant and offering his position to a colleague
My position was made redundant on 1 April 2020. The company stated restructuring as a reason for that. I was given a termination letter along with 4 other colleagues being made redundant from their positions.
Meanwhile, one of the 4 colleagues whose position was made redundant has been offered and accepted my position (nearly the same job title) with a higher salary than mine. I served 30 days' notice. The last working day was 1 May.
Considering the above, do I have legal grounds to file a claim for an arbitrary dismissal?

Hello,
As per your query, there are certain factors like what was the contract? Was it limited or unlimited? What was the tenure of your employment?
You have the right to claim your allowances due as per the new ministerial resolution.
Even, on termination on the basis of restructuring, your employer should have given amenities except for salary and enroll your CV in the job portal unless you get a job or flight tickets to return home, along with End of service (provided you have completed your probation period) and other allowances.
All the other two of your colleagues can claim the same benefit.
Please contact me via phone or email for further queries.
