Add Comment Question: My employer of 8 months just sent me this text, "Unfortunately we won't be requiring you anymore. I will give you a weeks pay in lieu of notice. If you could bring your keys/uniform back soon that would be great. Thanks for everything and good luck in the future". What are my options?
