Add Comment Question: Been with company for 1 year 2 months. High performer. No performance issue. Praised by direct management and clients. New management was hired and I was let go due to restructuring. They offered me the regular amount of severance but on the same day the company posted that they are looking to hire for the exact same position and responsibilities as the job they restructured away from me. Are they allowed to do that? Answer: An employer is permitted to dismiss you and then re-post the position. That said, they must provide you with adequate severance. I would strongly suggest you visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to ensure your received a fair severance package (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). I also encourage you to call us and set up a free and confidential consultation with one of our employment lawyers who will be able to fully review your matter.
