My employment was terminated after an 8+ year term. I was asked to write up a document (by my boss) to pass an audit. I wrote up the document and I was dismissed for integrity. My boss has (for nearly 4 years) made me feel inadequate, treated me with disrespect and yelled at me on many occasions without just cause. He made me fear for my job. I was given a severance package based on 8 weeks pay at 25 hrs a week. I worked nearly 40 every week and in turn made $50k- they are offering me $4800.

Employer wants to send me working for 2...6 months in the US (Michigan), as a weekly commute. This is not in my Empl.COntract, but he thinks it is no change in the Terms and Conditions. I cannot be away from family for such a long time. Should I say NO? Please advise

My wife received a "with cause" termination letter dated October 3/2017, on Oct.15/2017. It says that as of September 1/2017 she no longer worked for the company Their reasons for termination are false and we can prove it. They just wanted to put in reasons they came up with to make it sound good. They paid her no severance because they used the "Just Cause" reason. Can they do either?
