Hi
I have been working for a private company in Abu Dhabi for just over 18 months. The company is currently in financial difficulty and in the last few weeks had layoff staff without prior notice and all layoffs were with immediate effect. Reason - Redundancy. No 30 day notice period was handed to staff members. As I am currently unsure if I will get a notice, as the company is holding back on the staff listed for redundancy. I am of the opinion that this is not to create panic amongst staff members.
My question is what is the policy regarding termination of contract.
Does the company have the right to layoff staff with immediate effect due to redundancy reasons only
What are my rights in this matter, if it should happen to me.
Thanks
