I was unfortunately let go on Monday (28 November) among fifteen other employees as part of a restructuration (my industry is accounting software).
I worked in this company for more than 3 years as a full time employee and the employment contract stipulates a 1-month notice period.
The company is extending a 1-month garden leave to all dismissed employees. As of my last day, I had 20 days of unused leaves. Initially they said they would not pay for my unused leaves but eventually they said they would (as I believe they are legally obliged to ).
As it is clear they are trying to pay as little as possible, I was wondering:
1) Can the employer pay the notice period based on the last month salary instead of the 12-month average wage (which should includes commissions too)?
2) Can the employer use the unused leave on weekend and public holidays? (they just extended the 1 month notice period ending on 28 December and they added 20 calendar days to determine the last employment date)
3) They said they would use the MPF contributions to offset the long term service payment. I believe this is legal so nothing I can do on this end
I would really appreciate any help guys. I also tried to quote some law firms on the above but their rates (50k) are too expensive and largely offset the sum what I am trying to get from my previous employer here..
