I worked for 6 years under a contract from Sept. through the end of June, 3 of these terms as Team Leader managing 35+ staff. My supervisor talked about my return this Sept. saying things like she would look at the budget to try to bring me in in Aug. to assist with the new staff hiring and to get a jump on program planning, etc. During my exit performance appraisal this past June, most of the discussion was based on how "we" would make the program I managed better in Sept. When Aug. came, I attended the customary interview, but was not contacted about returning. The former Team Leader previous to me had always returned in the fall. However, the employer decided, despite the talk of me returning in the fall and all the talk of how "we" would manage the program, the employer hired someone else, which I found out as they had not tried in earnest to contact me in a timely manner to let me know, but instead left me hanging. The Labour Board said that as these contracts were consistent, and the time off between contracts was less than 13 weeks, I was entitled to termination pay. I am 58 years old and there are not a lot of positions in my line of work. The whole situation was handled so poorly on the employers behalf. Knowing how they operate, they believed the contracts were suffice to keep from paying termination, never mind severance pay. I was not offered anything. An I entitled to severance, or would I be better just seeking termination pay?
