Terminated due to company losses: What are the labor rights deserved?

Dear Sir/Madam,

My husband has been working for a company for 4.5 years. However, he was terminated with a one-month notice until the end of February due to company losses.

Can he receive three months' salary, gratuity, and leave?

Thank you!

Dear Questioner,

Yes, it is considered unfair dismissal and he is entitled to an end-of-service reward and vacation allowance.

You can file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.

For further inquiries about your topic, you can reach our office or contact us on WhatsApp.

Dear Inquirer,

We are pleased to serve you and address your inquiries.

As per the current labor law, your husband is entitled to his end-of-service gratuity and the financial compensation for his remaining leave balance.

However, we do not see any justification for the three-month compensation as the contract termination was justified and not arbitrary by the company.

If anything, else is required, don’t hesitate to contact us via email or call our offices in Dubai or Sharjah.

Dear Questioner,

You have the right to receive the pending salary, gratuity, and annual leave salary from the employer.

You will receive 3 months' salary only if the company did not serve a proper termination notice mentioning the redundancy or restructuring as the reason for the termination.

Dear Questioner,

You are entitled to receive annual leave salary and gratuity, and it is your right to claim.

However, you only receive three months' salary if the employer has not complied with the procedures of notice of termination.

Dear Client,

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

If your husband has been terminated due to the company's losses, he may be entitled to compensation.

This includes payment for the notice period, end-of-service gratuity, leave salary, and potentially severance pay equivalent to three months' salary if he has completed more than one year of service.

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,

ABDUL WAHIED
