I've worked for a company for 5 years never had any issues with performance, I became Ill and was off for 4-5 months at this time there was a management change, upon return I was told that my value was not noticed until I was gone and that they were thankful for my return, prior to leaving I handled all aspects of warehouse functions as the lead hand on my shift, with no supervisor or additional office support and was very success in my job functions.However with new management comes new employees ...i was told to train them which i did as i had made a request to move to day shift and needed to have a replacement it was then that it became noticeable to me that I was being targeted (harassment and false claims of racist comments and my attitude) all due to the fact that they had promoted other individuals for positions that i had applied for...I was made to follow proper hiring process but they were not... they had individuals file claims of attitude and racist comments to HR which they never could prove...gave me a letter stating that they didn't find anything in their investigation...they continued to try and find fault in my work through errors even though I out performed everyone and tried to point out the percentage of error...the bottom line they dismissed me saying I was not to company standards...lot more.to this but just so frustrated at how unfair this is.

That sounds like a very frustrating experience. Based upon what you have said, it sounds as though they did not have just cause to terminate your employment. If that is the case, then you are entitled to severance. Also, with respect to some of the false complaints, and the like, it is possible that you could be entitled to additional damages.
In order to give you a better idea about your entitlement to severance, how much severance, and whether other damages are available, we will need more information from you. I encourage you to phone the number below to set-up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers.
