I have been working for this company for over a year and two months, I was hired on as a MIT.. However when they let go of the former district manager that hired me they took my contract and gave me a new one which was 10 grand less a year, I provided a copy of my original contract and they told me to sign it or I will be let go, they knew my wife was 7 months pregnant at the time so I didn't have a choice, now after the busy time is finished with I went into work today and they handed me my letter of termination for performance base however I do not have any performance write ups or had any one discussed this with me... Do I have a case and should I speak with a lawyer?
This would most certainly be a termination without cause, if you have no history of discipline. This means that you are entitled to severance. Depending on how long you have been working at the reduced salary, it is possible that your severance may be calculated based on the salary you had previously. It is very important that you call us to discuss this in more detail.
