Required notice period and legal rights in case of redundancy
I was working as a Sales Manager in an LLC Organisation for the past 22 years. I was made redundant in Mar 2020.
Kindly help me with my three queries/doubts, please.
1. The 'Unlimited Term Employment Contract' dated 13 August 2017 mentions 2 months prior notice period. The renewed contract shows 1-month notice, which I didn't check during signing the renewal document. Is it right for an organization to change this?
2. What are my entitlements, please?
3. If I had been deprived/cheated, can I still approach for my rightful entitlement, if any?
Thanking you in advance.
Dear Sir,
As long as you sign the contract, it is valid.
We need to review all the documents you have and get more details from your part like your basic salary your housing allowances...etc. in order to calculate your financial rights, and you can claim them, of course.
You can visit us at our office or email us for more information or inquiries.
Dear Questioner,
Pursuant to the query, your employer needs to serve you only 1 month notice period if you have signed the new contract stating that if either of the parties wants to terminate the contract, he has to serve the other party 1-month notice.
Also, you are entitled to get your gratuity, EOSB... etc.
Kindly contact us on the phone or email to have a discussion.
Thank you.
Dear questioner,
You can initiate a complaint with the MoL for arbitrary dismissal wherein you 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.
Hi
Whatever your current labour contract stated for the notice period will be applied in your termination.The contract can be changed any time with both parties' consent.
If the termination is arbitrary you can claim arbitrary dismissal compensation and in that situation, the court can grant you 3 months maximum salary as compensation and termination by your employer.
Then you are also entitled to a ticket to your home country, gratuity, and other remaining your dues.
For all the above, if you don't get from your employer, you should call 80060 (MOHRE Tawafouq) and file a complaint. And if nothing is settled in Tawafouq, then you should file a case in the labour court.
You may contact me directly for further consultation by phone or email.
