My employer has/had a store that was going to be closed down but moving.. So my job was safe... Until last Friday and I was told the store was closing not moving bam out of a job... I just went into one of my last scheduled shifts to be told I wasn't needed and my job was done I'm laid off.... But the store is being demolished.. So laid off from what nothing is going into that spot?? I have worked for them for 2 years and I'm pretty sure they don't want to pay severance... What should I do???
If you have been terminated then you are entitled to a fair severance package based on your age, length of service, and position. This would still apply if the store is closing down, as long as the store is not bankrupt.
