I have been terminated from my job after my position was made redundant. Can I claim compensation?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have been terminated from my company with a 30-day notice period after serving 7 years and 10 months.

According to my company, my role has become redundant, and they aim to reduce expenses. However, they did not mention any reason for my termination.

Am I eligible to claim a three months' salary as compensation?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Dear questioner

Redundancy is not illegal in the UAE and if the company follows a policy to provide three months' compensation, then you can get the same.

As per the law, it is not mentioned that the company shall provide 3 months' salary as compensation, but you have all other rights including notice period salary and gratuity and pending unused annual leave salary.

If you need further clarification, please share your Whatsapp number.
