I have been Employed a banquet hall for 8.5 years. In November 2014 the owner got a management contract to manage a hotel in receivership. The owner approached me and told me that he needs me to work at the hotel and take over the sales department. I declined the offer several times but the owner insisted saying that he really needs this and he needs me to be involved because of my past hotel experience. He promised that Once the hotel sold and his contract is terminated, that I would return to the banquet hall and assume my position as director of sales. However, when I discussed returning he told me that he could no longer afford me and that I should try and get a job with the new owners of the hotel. I told him that I'm not interested in staying at the hotel and that I want to come back to my old position as he had promised. That wasn't an option and he terminated me. When it was time to get my final pay, he only paid me for 6 vacation days and wrote continuity of employment with new owners on my ROE. Is he obligated to pay me for termination pay and severance considering that he breached a verbal agreement (I have txt messages and emails) and manipulated me into taking a position against my will and terminating me without any compensation?
Your employer has terminated your employment and you are likely entitled to severance pay. Please contact our firm to discuss this matter in more detail.
