Add Comment Question: I have been working for my employer under a salaried position since August 2012. At 1:30pm this afternoon (March 4) I have been terminated without cause. My employer has given me until 9:30am March 5th to advise if I will remain on for 1 month to help transition the replacement manager and if I do so I will be given an additional 2 months of pay. Given the short time for me to review and try to obtain legal advice should I agree does this mean my legal rights towards a fair settlement are waived? Answer: You should absolutely seek independent legal advice prior to signing anything. Most deadlines are completely arbitrary, and so you should absolutely feel free to ask your employer for an extension of time so that you may seek legal advice. To that end, I recommend that you contact an employment lawyer at the number below. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
