I HAVE WORKED FOR THE SAME COMPANY FOR 36 YEARS.THENIN APRIL I WAS DISSMISTED WITHOUT A REASON. WHAT IAM I ENTI TLED TO IN SEVERENCE PAY AND WRONGFUL DISSISAL

My boss let me go because she said we were going in different directions. She offered me 6 weeks pay. But to be paid out over time can I ask for it to be paid all at once??

when allegations are made by my former employer of misconduct and theft but nothing can be proven to date, am I still entitled to termination pay?

I worked for a privately owned company for 15 years as an "independent contractor". I was terminated "without cause" and without warning. There was never a signed contract for my "employment". In order to get paid I signed a legal document (their's), which amounts to a "gag order". A recent court case ruling which was published in the newspaper, indicates that I was unfairly treated and very under-compensated. I never received any benefits from this company and because of many factors involving this employment, according to this court case, I was in fact a dependent contractor. Since I signed their document do I have any recourse? There are many details not included here. My last weeks of employment I was subjected to constructive dismissal, which I realized in hindsight. I hope you do not publish my inquiry as I am concerned about the document that I signed and ramifications of contacting legal counsel.

My employer said they will file a criminal charges against me if I go to arbitration and lose. Is this possible? Now I'm scared if I will go for arbitration.
