I worked in the medical marijuana industry. I was a part time worker but always worked 40 hours a week. I was told i was getting a raise after 3 months but it never happened. In fact over the 14 month period, staff with less seniority were given full-time status and raises with benefits and i was not. When i questioned this, i was put on a new shift with my hours cut down to thirty a week. I was never late, never took time off or had a vacation. They said i was a good worker. Management let me go because they said we were not making money? but hired more staff and promoted staff with less seniority to do my job. Its basically management looking after their friends.Were are not unionized. Your thoughts?

Unfortunately, and in most circumstances, an employer can terminate an employee at any time and for any reason. That said, when they terminate someone, the employer has to provide enough notice or severance. To determine how much severance you may be entitled to visit http://www.severancepaycalculator.com/.

If you believe you are entitled to more notice or severance than you received, or you would like to discuss your matter more generally, contact the number below to schedule a consultation with one of our lawyers.
