Dear Guys / Lawers

I need your free advise on matter pertained to my job termination.

I have been hired by a local oil & gas construction company on a permanent staff position in February 2012.

Due to some financial issue of my company they have decided to shut down their business in Dubai. Due which they started termination of contract and permanent staff positions with one month notice period and salary of such notice period.

I have heard that, termination due to such reason like it was not fault of employee than Employer should pay compensation of 3 months salary, is it right, if so what specific laws?

I have been also offered service apartment hotel for accommodation, and my notice period of one month ending on 30th November 2014, can I stay and hold accommodation for one more month (maximum)?

I hope you will provide me some guidance and advice.

Best Regards

Irfan
