Add Comment Question: I work as a PSW, I was working at a retirement home and was offered a private care job with one of our residents. As per company policy I had to be gone from the company for 3 months before I could start the job and the employer made an offer to me to pay me for my 3 months off and to start working with her husband after the 3 months which would be starting in Jan. She messaged me asking if I could work some shifts in Dec, I told her that she knew I could not start till Jan so I would be unable to work those shifts. She fired me for this. I quit my full time job with benefits under her good faith that I would have a job. I was suppose to get paid On Wed Dec 6 and was not paid and told it's in the mail, this cause a spiral affect with my car payment and literally left me with no money at all to survive. Are people just allowed to do this to someone, we have a contract for the 3 months that I was off stating how much she would be paying me. Does she have to pay out the contract. I'm so upset by this and at Christmas of all times. Any advice would be helpful, thank you Answer: Thank you for reaching out to our firm.
