Add Comment Question: I was terminated yesterday by my employer. I had worked there for 2.5 years. The incident that led to this was an altercation with a co-worker who was not pulling her weight and decided to leave work early that day as her knee was bothering her. On her way out, I made a comment in front of patients that she may as well go home as she was not doing anything anyway. I was called in on Monday and terminated on the basis that I bullied my co-worker and that they have zero tolerance for this. They have given me termination notice in writing and have stated it is due to my conduct towards another employee. The co-worker to whom I made the comment quit her job later that day and raised a big stink over the occurrence. I believe that I was terminated because my employer is afraid to be sued by the other worker. They are offering me 4 weeks severance in turn for my agreeing not to pursue any action against the employer. I have only 4 days to sign this agreement. Can I pursue any action against the employer. I am one of several employees terminated in the past year or two. Answer: Given your 2.5 years of service, you are likely owed significantly more than just 4 weeks' termination pay. Therefore, you should not sign the document before seeking legal advice. Please contact our firm to discuss this matter further and determine how we can assist you.
