Termination of employment contract for unsatisfactory performance
Dear Sir/Madam
I am a Relationship Manager In a bank in Dubai.
My employer has terminated my services (discontinuation of services) with reason as unsatisfactory performance during 2017.
They have given me 30 days' notice period and have mentioned in the letter that I am exempted from attending office during the notice period.
I seek your valuable advice, can I claim 3 months' full salary for my such termination where it was done all of sudden without alerting me with warning letters.
Also if you can advise me how to file a case against the employer in order to claim 3 months' salary.
Thanks and regards
Dear Questioner,
In order to give you a correct answer, we need to study the notice letter, the offer letter, your employment contract and its amendments, to see exactly the clauses mentioned by your employer.
As a general answer, if in your employment contract is mentioned a clause regarding any target that should be reached by you and if you did not comply with this request, they may have the right to terminate you - if this is stated in the contract.
Please contact us anytime if you need our assistance.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Raluca Gatina.
Dearest,
First of all, I need to understand, did the employer investigated the performance with you in advance or not?
Such an investigation should be in a written form;
Second, I need to know your employment period, for me to be able to estimate the wrongful termination amount (if any);
Third, I need to study the employment contract, to provide the best advice in the light of facts and the UAE federal law together with the precedents especially if you are based in Dubai.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Should you need any clarification, feel free to contact me on the phone.
