Hi Guys;
I got an offer for 1 year contract with family status of COMPANY ABC. I joined last November 2012 and unfortunately i just recently received a "MEMO TERMINATED due to STAFF reduction" under Article 75 of Saudi Labor Law effective Sept. 30, 2013. In summary i rendered only 10 months.
Question:
1. What would be my benefits?
2. I took my housing and furniture allowances for a year. Do they will take against me?
3. Do i have a chance or to ask for release/transfer to the Company XYZ?
Thank you guys.

Thank you Ehtesham for your advice as it add me confidence on my next step. As you said... i will be entitled to receive the full paid benefits but if should be written in my contract. As i double check my contract... never it is mentioned.. what is only mentioned is only for employer advancement. Anyway, i hope my company has its rules when it comes to that issue. About the release... i will try to work for it. Thank you very much.
