I am a life and health insurance senior claim examiner. I have been working for my current employer for almost 10 years. The company was purchased by another group in 2009. Since then, the new high management from the US is trying to make changes. The Claims manager has been changed 4 times. Since Nov 2013, the management put in place a "performance improvement plan. My files are audited in a very unfair manner, obvously with the purpose to show poor performance. I am 62 and a half years old. My job is very narrowly specialized and my chances to find another job are minimal. I am now threatened to have my employment terminated. What are my recourses and my rights in such situation? This impacts very negatively my health - I have a heart condition. Thank you for responding.
There is a lot to discuss her so I propose you give me a call. What I can tell you is that your employer does have a right to let you go , but would have to pay you severance. In your situation, you would be owed approximately 15 months of severance. If they let you go without this, it will be a wrongful dismissal. I look forward to speaking to you.
