I have worked with a company for 10 years and was verbally told in a meeting to resign because I simply requested to start earlier in order to leave earlier to pick up my children off the school bus. There are other employees who are allowed to start and leave earlier but I was denied. I have no other option if they chose to dismiss me. Is this right for them to dismiss me because of my children?
You should certainly not resign and your employer cannot force you to resign. If you have no choice but to change your schedule to be able to pick up your children, please contact our firm as this may constitute discrimination on the basis of family status. If your employer does terminate your employment, please contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail.
