I was a full time employee for 5 years with a perfect work record. The manager of our store was let go after 25 years, a new manager was brought it. I was told to do a children's birthday party, I refused because I was sick and didn't want to get a closed roomful of children sick. Being a mother I would never want a sick person entertaining my children and being around their food items. I was then told to go home. A week later I was fired for insabordination. I said for insabordination there has to be a pattern of it. They said that I had called the assistant manager a name a day before the birthday party incident. That was the way our store had always been. We always called each other lame names such as jerk, weirdo, nerd, etc... There was a pattern of it for 5 years. The day after I had called him a name playfully he had called another employee the same name. When I had spoken to hI'm he had said that the new manager doesn't understand we are all joking. So for the first time in 20 years I was fired. I haven't received a notice of termination, a roe or any vacation pay oweing.

The employer owes you termination pay. Call me at the number below and I will be happy to assist you. Lumi Pungea
