I was told by my part time restaurant employer of a year and a half that I could not work for him anymore because I also started working part time elsewhere for an employer that he does not like. He said I can work anywhere, but there.

I have been employed with the same company for 2 years. I was let go without cause and given a release and indemnity form to sign which, as written, explains that signing this form would give me an additional 2 weeks pay but states that I can never file claim against them. They are asking for the paperwork back ASAP. It’s been 3 days since I was given my termination package. How long is the legal amount of time that I should have to turn around this form? I should have an adequate time frame to give this to my later before I return it, signed or not. What is that time frame...approx?

Hey, i worked for a big construction company for about 3 years, every winter we get layed off and start back up in the spring, my uncle was my foreman, he apparantly didnt want me back on his crew but wasnt opposed to me moving crews, the owner doesnt want to move anyone around and left it to my foreman, technically told me to find a new job, but their leaving it as lay off due to shortage of work, and they have moved other people around and even hired new people for other crews and to fill my position. I only found out because of rumours spreading i wasnt coming back and because i called my foreman myself while he was on vacation. If i didnt call when would i have found out? Can they do this? What am i entitled to, what can be my options from here ?! Please help!
