Termination due to company restructuring. What should an employee get?

Hi,

I have received an employment termination letter due to company restructuring.

This was done without prior notice, and I am currently completing a one-month grace period. I have not used any of my annual leave, and I have been working here for nine months.

Could you please let me know what sort of compensation I am supposed to receive?

Thank you!

Hello,

I understand from your question that your company terminated you arbitrarily due to restructuring without notice.

Since the restructuring is not a valid reason for terminating an employee, you are entitled to a two-day leave allowance for each month + one month's salary as notice pay + compensation for arbitrary termination of up to three months' salary + a return ticket or its equivalent + any outstanding salaries + an experience certificate.
