Add Comment Question: I have been at this company for 7 months and was recently promoted to a higher position. I have a unique situation where I had two family emergencies back to back on the same day. I had let my employers know about my situation prior to them happening, and letting them know that it is not something I could control, but I will definitely do my best to accommodate if need be. They let me know that it is ok to have family emergencies, but when I couldn't go in, they reacted as if I was lying, and it was "coincidental" it happened two weekends in a row. My question is, what steps or advice could you give me if they try to fire me, or push me to quit because of my situation. Answer: In order to properly advise you regarding the potential termination of your employment or in a situation where you are "forced" to quit we would require significantly more information regarding the circumstances of your employment and the family emergencies. I would strongly encourage you to call us and set up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers who will be able to fully review the circumstances of your matter and advise you. I would also encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you would be owed if dismissed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com).
