Add Comment Question: I worked for a company for 22months and was let go with no real answer. They said there’s no reason aside from we are going in another direction. I was given a letter that was drafted by a lawyer with spelling errors... is this legal? Answer: You are describing a termination without cause, which is legal as long as you are provided with adequate notice or pay in lieu of notice. The relatively short service is only one factor in determining how much the notice period should be.
