I found another job and went into my boss's office to give him my 2 weeks notice. I was talked out of leaving because he couldn't afford to loose another tech. I was told my experience was invaluable. They gave me a raise in pay and guaranteed me my hours. 5 month's later they fired me without cause and would not give me a reason. Other than ther going in another direction. I have all pay promises in writing signed by my boss. Is it legal to do that ?.

My name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. While your employer is permitted to terminate your employment without a reason, it must provide you with severance pay. Your employer's actions in convincing you not to accept the other job, and then quickly terminating your employment, could result in a greater notice period or additional damages. Please visit the severance calculator (https://www.severancepaycalculator.com/) for an estimate of your severance entitlements and contact our firm to discuss how we can assist you.
