On This Episode:

Chapter 1 

How does a fixed-term contract affect severance entitlements?

A Software Engineer in his early 30’s was terminated from his position after 4 months.  He was making an annual salary of 120,000. He was offered 1 week of severance. On the severance calculator, it said he was entitled to 2-4 months of his pay. He expected to work there for a year due to the fixed term contract. How would this affect his entitlements?

Chapter 2 

Am I entitled to my bonus after termination?

A regional manager worked at the company for 3 years. She was terminated due to the downsizing of her department.  Her employer decided not to pay her bonus for 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. Her bonus was 35% of her salary and she had never signed a bonus agreement. Would she be entitled to her bonus upon termination?

Chapter 4 

Should my benefits extend to my entire severance period after being terminated?

A woman worked for a company for 23 years and received a severance offer of 18 months. They extended her benefits for 2 months. Should her benefits have been extended for the entire severance period?

Chapter 5 

Am I owed severance if I am terminated while on probation?

My employment contract states that the probationary period is 6 months. Does this mean that if I’m terminated before that period is over, I would not be entitled to severance?

Chapter 6 

To what extent is an employer obligated to accommodate an employee’s hours after returning from maternity leave? 

My friend has just returned to work from her maternity leave. Her hours at work are 8 am- 5 pm. She is wondering if she could cut 2 hours a day from her schedule. Is this something she could request from her employer?

Chapter 7

After 28 years of service, the company I work for is closing. How much severance am I owed?

I have been a Pressman at a company for 28 years. I am currently on disability and I have been unable to work for an extended period. I received a termination letter because the company is closing. How much severance am I owed?

Chapter 8

Can I be entitled to more than 2 weeks of severance after working for 7 months at a company that was misrepresented to appear more desirable? 

A week ago, I was let go from a job after 7 months of service and I was offered 2 weeks of severance pay. I was lured over under the premise of this great opportunity but when I began working there it was clear to me that this job was not what they said it would be. I was offered 2 weeks of severance. Could I be entitled to more severance given that the job was misrepresented to seem more desirable?

Chapter 9 

Biggest mistakes individuals make that compromise their legal rights
Failing to keep track and submit overtime

Chapter 10 

Is my bonus pay contingent on meeting the target billable hours?

I signed an employment contract that states that I shall be considered for a bonus from time to time. Upon termination, the employer did not pay a bonus and claimed that I did not meet the target billable hours of 1000, which is what we are expected to compile after a year or work. Am I entitled to the bonus?

Chapter 11 

How much severance am I owed after 8 years of service?

I am a Tractor Trailer Truck Driver for the same company for 8 years. I work for a federally regulated company. I was terminated and offered only 1 day per year of service. Am entitled to more severance?
