Hello...I was removed from my workplace schedule... prior to Christmas for 2 weeks I was 2 days aweek for 2 weeks then I just was removed from the schedule, after approx. 5 weeks of not being on the schedule I informed my employer I had to persue different avenues. Iam I entited to severance? I was there 5 yrs and averaged 35-40 hrs a week

You are most likely entitled to severance. Unless otherwise agreed to verbally or in an employment contract, an employer cannot unilaterally reduce your hours or pay - that amounts to what is called a "constructive dismissal". It's important in the circumstances that you address this issue as soon as possible. Use our Severance Pay Calculator to find out how much you may be owed and then give is a call to set up a consultation.
