I'm a department manager today I was fired and paid 1 week severance due to lack of business/ lack of work. My replacement who was the former department manager died within hours. Am I entitled to my job back?.

Thank you for reaching out to our firm.

Unfortunately, you are not entitled to get your job back unless you work in a federally regulated industry (airline, railway, etc.). That said, you may be entitled to more severance. You can visit www.severancepaycalculator.com to get an idea of how much you might be entitled to.
