إنهاء الخدمة بسبب الزيادة عن حاجة العمل وفترة الإخطار

مرحبًا.

لقد كنت أعمل في شركة واحدة لمدة عام ونصف.قيل لي أنه بسبب الزيادة عن حاجة العمل فإنهم لا يحتاجون إلى خدماتي.

الرسالة التي قدموها لي مثيرة للجدل للغاية - تنص على أن عقدي ينتهي بأثر فوري، وعلى الجانب الآخر، يُطلب مني أن أخدم لمدة شهر واحد كفترة إخطار تعاقدية.

إذن، سؤالي هو، هل هذا قانوني؟ هل يحق لي الحصول على أكثر من راتب واحد بسبب الزيادة عن حاجة العمل؟ هل يجب علي أن أعمل خلال فترة الإخطار بما أن أثر الإنهاء نافذ بشكل فوري؟

شكرًا لك.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for getting in touch with me on this issue.

Under your labour contract, if you are terminated or you resign, the employee is bound to serve a notice period of one month irrespective if the reason is termination or resignation.

Not serving the notice period may amount to the breach of law and you will lose your rights. It is perfectly legal for the employer to ask you to serve notice period.

However, the reason for your termination is redundancy which amounts to arbitrary termination, hence, you will be entitled to a salary for the notice period, three months salary towards arbitrary termination, gratuity, salary in lieu of leaves (if any) and air ticket to home country.

If your employer refuses to pay the above dues, then you are entitled to file a labour case against the employer company.

You may get in touch with me for further assistance on this.

Regards,

Hari Wadhwana

Dear Hari,

Apparently, they state that the termination is based on restructuring, therefore, since I am on an unlimited contract, they owe me nothing.

Kindly advise, if this is correct.

Thank you

Dear Madam,

This amounts to arbitrary termination and you are eligible to claim 3 months' additional salary as compensation.

I have reverted to you on Whatsapp.

Regards,

Hari Wadhwana
