Labor rights of the employee in case of termination after completing one year

Hi Ma'am

This is about my husband getting terminated in Dubai. He has been terminated on the grounds of misbehavior which is a false allegation by the employer.

He has completed 1 year period at the company. The employer has filed a labor complaint against my husband. I'm not much aware of the labor law of Dubai.

Can you please let me know if my husband is entitled to the 3 months salary along with the vacation pay as he just completed his 1 year in the company?

The contract my husband signed doesn't have anything mentioned as 3 months' pay but does have the vacation pay after completing 1 year.

But will he be entitled to it even if he is terminated?

Also, my husband has proof of the employer's misbehavior (voice record)

Please reply.

3 months' pay is arbitrary dismissal compensation which is not mentioned in the contract but was there under the law.

Under the new law, compensation is not payable if the employment is terminated under the notice of the employment contract.
