The business I worked for 7 years has sold to a new owner. 4 of us were given roughly one week notice. According to the sale contract (which we've not seen) the new employers are to offer us 4 months of employment in exchange for severence pay. We were told a 2 week period of unemployment for renovations I'm which we were to be called and interviewed. It's now been almost a month and still not open or any communication as to a time line. New owners have claimed none of us reapplied(possibly eliminating us by default).
The catch is I am now 6 months pregnant and unsure as to go on ei. I'm struggling to maintain a mortgage and a child with no income. My ei will be deducted from my mat leave time and also stop my daycare subsidy. I guess my question is, should someone be responsible for severence or a buyout of sorts. I'm very unsure of my options
