I went off work when I was pregnant with a doctors note then went on maternity leave after my baby was born
I returned to work after my maternity leave was up
I was back to work for less than 3 months and was let go
Termination letter stating shortage of work
I was with a company for 2 weeks less than 5 years
I have been employed at my clinic the longest
I believe that my company decided they wanted to keep my mat leave replacement
So I got fired and she took my job
Is there anything I can do?
They didn't give me any warning
They just called me in the office said were letting you go
Here is a letter and you will get 4 weeks severance
And we graciously offered 2 extra weeks of severance
If you sign this form and get it back to us by this date
The letter states if I sign it I agree to all terms and cannot Per sue any legal actions
Should I sign it ?
I'm a new mother and really need the money
But feel that this extra 2 weeks is being dangled in front of me so there deviant act stays hidden.
What you describe is illegal. They owe you much more than the 6 weeks pay they offered you. There may also be human rights issues. It is important that we speak. Please give me a call at the number below.
