I work in a permanent part time position and my employer has posted my position but with full time status. Now I have to compete for my position because the part time one will be eliminated . If they hire somebody else I'e lost my job. What can I do about this?

Hi Phil,

Thank you for your question.

If your company eliminates your position and does not provide you with a comparable position (or a position that is better) you will be deemed to have been terminated. If that happens, you may be owed significant notice or pay in lieu of notice and/or severance pay (if applicable).

If you are terminated or offered a new role that is not comparable to your current position, I would highly recommend that you contact our firm to schedule a free consultation. From there we will be able to gather more information and be in a better position to fully advise you as to your rights and entitlements.
