I was dismissed based on complaints that were written about me by customers, however i have only been written up once for it, and was terminated based om this. Following this, ownership of the store changed and i dont know if i will receive my termination pay, or if i could request it sooner from the previous owner, or if i would speak to the new owner

Hello, and thank you for your question.

It is unlikely that the company had just cause to terminate your employment based on the complaints from customers. However, this would depend on the nature of the complaints and the timing of the previous written warning. We would therefore need additional information from you to adequately assess whether the company had just cause for your dismissal. Assuming the company did not have just cause to terminate your employment, you are certainly entitled to an adequate severance package.

With respect to your second concern: The company you had previously worked for is on the hook to pay out your severance entitlements. Therefore, if the company changed ownership but the legal entity remained the same, your severance entitlements are owed to you by the company - not the previous owner.

Thank you
