Nine months after hire, I was terminated for having a criminal record. This had been communicated to the Company rep prior to the start of employment. I had been told that the nature of my offense would not be an issue. I therefore quit my previous job and took this one. Am I being treated/ fairly? That is, have I been legally terminated

Simply having a criminal record does not necessarily constitute just cause to terminate an employee's employment without severance pay. This is especially true if you were convicted of the crime prior to commencing employment and had already disclosed this fact prior to accepting the position. Accordingly, you are likely owed a severance package based on your age, years of service, and position. The fact that you were recruited away from another secure position may also increase the severance package that you are owed. Please contact our firm to discuss how we can assist you recover a fair severance package.
