my company let me go 6 weeks before the end of year and now will not pay me any profit sharing, as they state I must be physically working there on Sept 30. my package will continue my salary though until Dec 30 of this year, are they allowed to not pay my profit sharing for all the effort in put in for 10 and 1/2 months contributing to the profit sharing?

Thank you for your question. In order to provide you with a full answer, we would need to review the terms of any employment agreement that you may have with the company. However, if the agreement does not state that you have to be actively employed to receive the profit sharing payments - or if there is no agreement - then you are likely entitled to be paid for the profit sharing payments that you would have received on September 30.
