Add Comment Question: I am the first employee hired at a company. They fired me after 2years with no reason but on my ROE said shortage of work. They kept 14 other employees on with less seniority than me Answer: A company is allowed to terminate you on account of shortage of work and keep other employees, even if they have less seniority. However, they do have to provide you with the appropriate amount of termination pay or notice of your termination. I suggest reaching out to an employment lawyer at the number below to ensure that you have received the appropriate package.
