What to do if the employer is reducing the end of services benefits

Hi,

My company terminated my contract on 5-01-2021 with a termination letter effective the same day. I was forced to sign that letter and leave the premises.

Therefore, they were breaching the contract as the contract stipulates that 30 days notice should be given.

I started working for them in 07-11-2019, due to coronavirus I accepted unpaid leave for 15 days in May, 15 days in October and a whole month in December 2020.

I filed a complaint and they sent me emails telling me to accept AED 10,637.07 as a total of what they owe me. Today, they want to add AED 7000 to this total but the issue is that it is not even close to what they really owe me.

End of service, annual leave (0 paid leave so I should receive the full amount), notice period salary (full amount), air ticket and compensation (1 to 3 months negotiable as per the UAE law).

I would like to know what should be done if they still don't comply with the UAE law.

Thank you in advance

Good morning.

First We need to know how much your last salary was to calculate your termination gratuity.

If they didn't offer you your correct labour benefits and gratuity, you can continue with the labour court.

Thanks and regards.
