Hi I applied for a purchasing job and after negotiating pay, I was hired as purchasing supervisor. Six months later (May 16) I was advised that die to reorganization if Purchasing and Logistics functions my employment was terminated. I noticed that they have advertised for a purchasing logistics associate that will be reporting to the purchasing logistics coordinator. I believe the coordinator was given a pay raise and her title was not changed but basically she was given my job. I left my position at my old company because I wanted to shorter commute but I had job security and they were aware. Also, I am 55 years old and feel that I am having issues finding a job because of my age. I have not signed anything from company. Is there anything that can be done. I feel this is not fair and I have never been given any reason that my performance was lacking, as a matter of fact, I was given my 3 month performance raise. I think they just didn't want to pay the wages they agreed on.

Wrongful dismissal payout

Have not called in sick once in 3-11/2 years. Called in sick due to discovered medical condition and informed employer that I may miss some more days for tests, etc... Employer informed me that it was best to take care of my health and she would make up the termination papers. When informed later that this was illegal, she said it was because of my performance. I had never been talked to about performance previously.
