The company I work for 9 years sold over nigth to an individual they presented me with a letter saying that I'm no longer an employee and have no more health benefits etc. I would like to know if I don't want to work with the new owner does the company owe me a dismissal package.

Hi there,

Given your lengthy service with the company, you are likely entitled to a significant severance package.

In order to determine your entitlements with greater precision, it would be helpful for me to review the letter that was provided by your employer.

Please contact me or one of my colleagues right away. We would be happy to review the letter with you and advise on your entitlements to a severance package.
