I am sorry, I entered my question in the wrong forum earlier...should have been here. Anyway, I was laid off 6 weeks ago because the company is restructuring. I was given a severance package that will last until February. My employer has seen me a letter via courier that says that I have taken company documents off the premises including files. I did no such thing. What is the best way for me to respond as I fear they will use this as a reason to stop my severance. I wanted to respond by writing them a letter and having someone's, a lawyer's firm or the like letter head. I am not sure what to do but I want to respond as I did not do this at all. Thank you for your help.
