I’ve worked at a bar/restaurant since February 2016. We were told they were closing for renovations &
Typed a paper to be signed by us saying ‘please be advised as of May 31 the restaurant will be closing to undergo renovations. Further details are to follow ‘ Their name &’had us sign it. I haven’t heard from them. See posts on Instagram that they are re opening June 14, found out from another comworker that they had a meeting June 11’going over the new menu &’employee handbook & I messaged my boss & no response & no invite to the staff meeting.
One other employee who’s been employed over 4 years also didn’t get a call to the meeting. I believe thy fired me. What are my rights and would they owe me 2 weeks pay in lieu of notice plus 3’weeks severance pay. What are my legal rights? Never been written up or had a single complaint, never called in sick and always covered extra shifts. Worked approx 25-35 hours per week
