If a company tells u they are down sizing and letting me go yet just hired two employees training in my position and ive been there 9 months do i have a case?

If your employment was terminated due to downsizing (even if they still hired new employees), you are likely entitled to a severance package (i.e. notice of termination or pay in lieu of such notice) in accordance with the common law. The length of the notice period/amount of severance pay should be based on your age, years of service and position. That is, the older you are, longer you worked there, and more specialized/senior your job, the greater the severance package. We will need to speak to you to determine the amount you are owed as a severance package. Please contact our firm to discuss this matter further.
