If fired with a 3-month notice, will apartment and car fees be covered during that period?

Dear Lawyers,

If I get fired and have a 3-month notice period, with apartment, school, and car fees paid by the company, do I continue to receive those benefits during the 3-month notice period?

Dear Questioner,

If the company is providing you with accommodation, you are generally entitled to continue receiving this benefit during the notice period, unless the employer specifies otherwise in your contract or the reason for termination involves serious misconduct on your part.

The employer may have the right to ask you to vacate the accommodation upon your termination, but this should be communicated properly and in accordance with the notice period.

If the company is paying school fees and car-related expenses as part of your employment benefits, they should continue to cover these costs during the notice period unless your contract states otherwise or the termination is for cause.

For further clarification, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

If your employment contract explicitly states that these benefits continue during the notice period, even in case of termination, you are likely entitled to them.

Some companies have specific policies regarding benefits during notice periods, especially for employees in specific roles or with certain contracts. Check your company's HR policies or employee handbook.

If you need further clarification, you may ask us.

Dear questioner,

You will receive the salary for your notice period in the same manner as you were receiving it previously. If it is not being received, you can file a complaint with MOHRE.

Thank you for your question!

If your employment contract specifies a three-month notice period and includes benefits such as apartment, school, and car fees, these entitlements are generally expected to continue during the notice period unless otherwise stated in your contract or company policies.

However, this depends on the specific terms of your employment contract and UAE labor laws, particularly under the Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021.

To provide a more accurate assessment and guide you on how to protect your rights, I recommend reviewing your employment contract and discussing your situation in detail.

Please feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp or phone at [--------] to discuss further. You can also email me at [---------] if you’d like to schedule a consultation.

Best regards,

Suhail Rana

Greetings,

According to UAE labor law, an employee who is terminated or resigns from their job is entitled to receive all benefits and allowances provided by the company during their employment.

However, it is always advisable to consult with a legal professional or your HR department to confirm your specific entitlements and review your employment agreement.

Best Regards,
