What are my rights as an employee if my contract is terminated by my employer?
Hello!
I am writing to enquire about what the UAE law says about the termination of contracts by employers and the benefits paid to employees under such circumstances.

Dear Questioner,
1) Unpaid salaries (if any).
2) Work termination notice allowance (one, two, or three months, according to the contract, and equal to the total salary).
3) Overtime allowance (if any).
4) Annual leave allowance (if there are unused leaves, and it is based on the basic salary and not the total).
5) End-of-work bonus (if the service period is more than one year).
6) Return ticket.
7) Experience certificate.
These are the usual labor rights, and if the contract includes more rights, you deserve them.
