Hello. I have been working for a restaurant for over four months now working primarily dinner shifts. I was to work a modified lunch shift Thursday in which I was only aware of the start time. When I punched in digitally it stated my shift was 3 hours. I worked until that time, left, and was called by management. I was told I left in the middle of my shift. I asked if I should come back and that I could but was told we would discuss the matter the following day. The next day when we met, I was handed a notice of termination effective immediately that stated I would receive one weeks pay in lieu of notice and I had discovered extra pay in my backaccount when checked, more than my normal paycheque which was due the same day. My questions are, is this dismissal adequate, should I be entitled to more severance and should I follow up or let it go? I am 28 years old and work infrequent weekly hours. Thank you.
You are entitled to more. Probably another 2 - 3 weeks. That said, it is likely not worth pursuing given the amounts at issue.
