My work fired me without a reason. They are offering me a settlement but I feel like they're discriminating against my mental health issues and want me gone. I don't want to sign the settlement if they are wrong for firing me. Please help. I have until the 10th to make a decision.
Hello,
Generally an employer may terminate you at any time, without even having to provide a reason why, if it is done on a 'without cause' basis - such that they pay you your proper termination entitlements. Generally, an employer's initial offer in the termination letter is not adequate, especially if there are any grounds to believe that they have discriminated against you based on mental health issues. Before signing their package you definitely should contact our office to schedule a free phone consult with one of our lawyers to we can assess your matter further and determine your termination entitlements.
