Add Comment Question: My employment was terminated in January for theft. I had been with the company for seven years as a Senior Buyer. One day I was in the warehouse and there was an open carton of cookies that had several sleeves missing. I asked one of the warehouse guys if we were allowed any and one of them said we were so on my way back I took a sleeve. A couple of days later I was told I was dismissed for theft with no severence pay for a $3 pack of cookies. Due to the amount I asked if they could write me up or something instead but was told no, I am fired. Is there anything I can do? Answer: Termination with cause (and without severance) is extremely difficult for an employer to establish. In this case you may be entitled to significant severance. Please visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you are owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). I would also encourage you to call us and set up a free and confidential consultation with one of our employment lawyers. During the consultation one of our lawyers will be able to fully assess your matter and provide you with more information.
