WEEK THAT WAS #1: An employee made a mistake with a client quote, and so she was fired for cause. Her employer said she wasn’t owed any severance, but “generously” offered her 6 weeks’ severance. Was she owed more?

WEEK THAT WAS #2: An employee was told that they would be laid off temporarily until work picked up again. What are my options when I am put on a temporary layoff?

Does taking legal action against an employer or employee meant that I will have to go to court?

I worked for a company for just under 3 months as Head of Sales, making $200,000. They fired me, and said that I wasn’t a good fit.

I worked for a health care facility for 32 years full-time as an Independent Contractor. I was let go last week, what am I owed?

I’m a salesperson that worked mainly from the company’s office. I usually work 60 hours a week. I am paid a salary, but am not paid overtime.

The company where I worked at for more than 7 years presented me with a new employment agreement. If I don’t sign within a week, I will be considered to have resigned.

Does an employer have to give you something in return for signing a new employment agreement.

My employer wants me to sign a new employment agreement that contains a probationary period. Do I have to sign it?

A few years ago, the company caught me doing something wrong, and I promised never to do it again. Can they fire me for cause now because of what I did then?
