Terminated without warning. Eligible for 3 months' compensation?

Dear Questioner,

Terminating employees depends on the contract type and reason for dismissal.

Unlimited contracts require notice (30-90 days) for any valid reason, while limited contracts require specific reasons like misconduct or redundancy.

Employers can fire without notice for gross misconduct, negligence, absence, or false information, but must follow documented procedures and may owe notice pay and gratuity in some cases.

For additional clarification, it is necessary to examine the labor contract.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

If your employment contract states that termination requires a written warning and the reason given for termination is not valid, you may have a case for arbitrary termination.

In such cases, you may be entitled to compensation equivalent to three months' salary as per UAE labor laws.

It's advisable to consult with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) to understand your rights and take appropriate action.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Questioner,

A termination can be considered an illegal one if it qualifies for some criteria under the amended UAE Labor law.

Apart from that, it should be specifically mentioned in the employment contract.

Furthermore, issuing a warning letter will be at the discretion of the company according to their management policy and according to the seriousness of the situation.

If you need further clarification, we will arrange a legal consultation session for a charge.

Dear Sir,

In this regard, you will have to raise a complaint of arbitrary dismissal against the employer in the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.

The Ministry will then try for an amicable settlement, failing which the matter will be referred to the courts.

If arbitrary dismissal is proven, the court will order the employer to pay compensation, which is determined by the court by considering the type of work, extent of damage caused, and duration of your service.

However, such compensation cannot exceed your three months' wage.
