Terminating an employment contract due to company restructuring

Hi ma'am,

Good Day!

Hope you’re well!

I got terminated from the company due to company restructuring and they gave me 1 month notice period. I’m under an unlimited contract, with a private company in Dubai.

Which benefits I would get with this termination which I believe is wrongful dismissal?

I hope you can help me!

Thank you!

Kind Regards,

Welcome,

As long as the company gives you notice, it means that the dismissal is legal unless your contract stipulates that the notice period is more than that.

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.
