Terminating an employee due to a conversation illegally recorded
Dear sir/madam,
I was working with a free zone company in Dubai and they terminated me based on an illegal record submitted by a customer within an hour by giving me one month's notice.
However, when I informed them that my contract states that termination is not before less than 3 months' notice, HR started threatening me with confidentiality and article 120, etc.
I need help to get my money because HR initially didn't see my contract and later when they checked after my email, they are trying to save their bosses money.
If I go with a case, can they add more accusations based on their claim? Or will the case be based on the termination letter which was handed out without any warning ever?
Please guide!
Thanks,
Dear questioner,
The worker can submit a complaint to the Ministry of Labor over the phone or on the website.
All entitlements must be accounted for (overdue salaries, vacations, end-of-service benefits, airline tickets for him and his family, compensation for unfair dismissal, and any other entitlements according to the contract).
The matter is presented for settlement before the employee of the ministry, and if the solution is not resolved, the file is referred to the court, and a session is set for its consideration before the judge.
After the ruling, an implementation file is opened to collect the amount.
There are many actions that can be taken against the company to enforce the judgment.
But in your case, unfortunately, the company can file a lawsuit against you for violating the principle of confidentiality, but if you are sure that you did not make a mistake and their words are slander, hold on to your right and file a lawsuit.
