I was terminated. Will I get termination pay along with gratuity?

Dear Sir/Mada,

I work in a Free Zone as a Service Manager of a Facility Management company. I began working on December 1, 2008.

On November 6, 2023, I received a termination letter from management citing restructuring, and they provided me with a one-month notice.

As this is a termination, will I receive a termination payment in addition to gratuity?

Regards,

Dear Questioner,

As per law, there will be no compensation other than gratuity upon termination.

Dear Questioner,

As per new rules of Labor Laws, if the termination letter does not provide a reason for the termination as redundancy or restructuring, you can claim compensation and file a case in the Freezone authority.

Dear Client,

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

Yes, if you've been terminated from your job, you should be entitled to termination benefits in addition to your gratuity as per UAE labor laws.

These benefits typically include notice pay, which is calculated based on your employment contract and service period.

Dear sir,

If the company sent you a termination notice, then your right is only the salary after the notice date plus the gratuity and other rights if available.
