Add Comment Question: My daughter signed a "casual contract" employment agreement on March 23rd, 2017 with a large well known insurance provider. As a student she worked approximately 20 hours per week. In October of 2017 she asked her then supervisor for time off during the Christmas holidays as the family was taking a ski vacation. It was approved. Between October and December she got a new supervisor who would not honor the vacation approved by the prior supervisor. My daughter took the vacation regardless as it was approved. Today she was walked out the door and told she was let go because she was not flexible with her work. She was a model employee and selected by the company to represent student employees on a committee. There appears to have been a personality issue with her manager. She had it out for my daughter. Teh contract my daughter signed indicated in the event of termination without cause, she would be paid 10 days. Is she entitled to more severance? Is there anything that can be done to ensure she is not considered for future positions with that company? Answer: Given that her vacation was previously approved, this would not likely constitute just cause for termination. Therefore, she should receive severance pay.
