Claiming labour rights for termination after unpaid leave
Hi Sir,
I was working under a free-zone company in Dubai and received a stand down letter from the company in April 2020. I was asked to be on unpaid leave for 3 months (Apr to June) and was paid only 10% of my total salary.
The letter also mentioned that if the business is not bouncing back to normal, this 3-month period will be considered as a notice period. On July 1, the company sent me a termination letter.
Could you please guide me to know what are all benefits I am eligible for?
Should the company pay me notice period payment? (Apart from EOS i.e. 21 days for 3.5 years + remaining annual leave).
As you mentioned you have not agreed or signed any document to reduce salary, you can demand a full salary.
And if it's a limited contract, then compensation for early termination.
You have not mentioned your contract time period( limited or unlimited), therefore please give detail of it so I can consult you properly.
You may call so I can advise you more.
