Add Comment Question: As a part time permanent secretary with a union office , 9 years no incidents I was fired for benefit fraud ($780h approx ) as soon as we found out we had made a error we repaid the amount in full . The situation is as in regards to our youngest sons braces , ( we never had a issue with any of our 4 boys ) he was still getting treatments but we were already paid and our orthodontist was already paid in full , the confusion came from our son injuring his mouth and breaking his braces about a year prior , we made the error and continued to submit for the payments . The confusion came as we had a standard audit in 2015 called our orthodontic office then they sent paperwork and everything was fine , again we had a standard audit in 2017 so when I called back to the orthodontist office and advised of the audit they assumed it was from the 2015 audit and I was not specific or did I specify it was a new one so they sent all the original receipts , when I recieved the receipts I assumed they were for the 2017 audit and not check dates just submitted them . Our orthodontist has spoken for us and validated our creditablity that this was a clerical error not fraud or malicious in any manor . On a side not we would never jeopardize my job , pension , benefits and wxpescially our reputation for any amount of money let alone such a little some . We own our home and property , vehicles carry little to no debt , donate to charity ( considerable amounts ) and are considered affluent as a family . Answer: If you are unionized employee unfortunately our firm cannot assist you in this matter. If you are a non-unionized employee and have been terminated for just cause without severance, I recommend that you contact our office to schedule a consult with one of our lawyers so we can more thoroughly assess your matter and determine whether you are entitled to any severance.
