So I was hired for a full time position mon to fri 4-1130pm. In June and 2 weeks ago I was informed that the girl on maternity leave was returning. I signed an employement agreement and no where within it and nor was I told that this was temporary. I have since been notified that they know they are in the wrong but they must give her back her job. As for me they seem to be scrambling. What are my rights and what am I entitled to?
If you are terminated you are entitled to severance. Also, when the employee returns from maturity leave, if your employer substantially changes your job or the terms of your employment you may be able to claim constructive dismissal and request severance. I would strongly encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you are owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). I would also encourage you to call us and set up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers.
