حق الموظف في المطالبة بالتعويض بسبب إنهاء الخدمة بعد فترة الاختبار

Dear Questioner,
Thanks for contacting me.
I understand that your employer has made you redundant after you worked for him for a continuous period of six months.
Please note that 6 months is the maximum period of probation as per Article 37 of the UAE labour law. Hence I assume that you have already completed your probation period.
In that case, you are eligible for arbitrary termination compensation since redundancy is not a valid reason as per the UAE labour law.
Please note that your employer has the right to terminate you without assigning a reason and notice during the probation or at the end of the probation period [Article 120, UAE labour law].
However, since your employer has mentioned the reason for termination redundancy, you can seek remedy against your employer's decision.
Regards,
