I've been a "contract" worker for 2 years with this company. I devoted my full time to them daily working weekends and evenings as well as all day as required. I was the sales manager and operations director of this company. It's a small company with sales around 1.2 million. I was away on a family issue for 1 week unpaid. When I returned on Nov. 11, I was informed by the President that my services were not required any longer due to financial reasons. I was never given any notice and I received no severance. Am I entitled to something? I have tried contacting the president but he will not answer my calls, texts, or emails. My name is Terrance Bailey. 647-996-1249.
