Add Comment Question: Are you legally entitled to severance pay when working in a boarding home,even though the boss discussed it with you, gives it too you, then wants to take it back saying it was a mistake?! Answer: Hi Sharon, Thank you for your question. In short, if you have been terminated "without cause", and have worked more than a few months, you are generally owed termination pay or notice by law, regardless of whether the employer wants to give it. In fact, you may be owed even more compensation than what was provided to you by your employer. I suggest you give our firm a call to schedule a free consultation where we can gather some more information from you and be in a better position to advise you fully as to your rights and entitlements.
