Complement or adjunct

Twitter is already facing a class action lawsuit filed in San Francisco on Thursday by ex-employees who say they were denied the required notice period that they were about to lose their jobs.

From The Guardian.

Is that they were about to lose their jobs a content clause and complement in the NP in the sentence above? Or, is it an adjunct in that sentence?
