Hello, I was terminated without cause, from a campground manager position. This was due to my employer not liking me. I excelled all job requirements. They gave me an offer of 3 weeks severance, and vacation pay. The letter says we need to sign a letter saying we cannot go after them, in order to get the severance. Today I should of been paid my last week and a halfs pay, not including ant severance vacation ect. My pay was not in the bank, when I spoke to the company, they said they will not pay me Anything unless I sign the letter. Can they do this, without my pay?
They cannot withhold your pay. That is illegal. The question also is how much severance you are owed. That depends on your age, length of employment and position. You can check out the Severance Calculator: www.severancepaycalculator.com or just give me a call to discuss.

Hello, is there a fee to call discuss our letter, to see if we have a case? The letter also said my wife, was acting as manager even though she was never employed by the company. Prior to this year we were working at the same park, and then we were bought out by the current company. With the old company, they just gave one check to the couple. When they took over they continued this routine. They said my wife acted as manager, when she wasn't. However they gave her log ins, business cards, and credit cards, had meetings with her ect. We lived on the premises, was terminated, and then given 10 days to vacate our home. Then hurt us again, by not depositing our pay today.
It is important that you give me a call. There is no charge.
