Add Comment Question: I was fired yesterday though a text message because I covered a shift at work and the girl backed out and I said I couldn't make it in because I worked my other job. The same thing happened the previous week except the opposite. I said I could switch a shift then realized I couldn't but they still told me I had to come in or else I would be fired. I figured it out and came in. Wondering what my rights were in this situation. I have been employed there 2 years. Answer: Were you offered a severance package? If so, we would need the details in order to assess it. I would recommend that you contact our office and speak to one of our lawyers to go over your entitlements. You may also want to visit our severance pay calculator at www.severancepaycalculator.com to get an idea of your potential entitlements.
