🔹Ten weeks of severance after twelve years of employment - 2:08
I worked at a dental office and due to COVID-19, we've lost business. I was let go with ten weeks of severance pay. Is this accurate?

📞 Let go after a return from medical leave - 6:27
Caller from http://bit.ly/Employment-Law-Show: I was off work sick for 2 years. When I returned to work, I was let go a week later. I had been there for 18 years in a managerial role. Can they do that?

❓ Employer introducing a pay cut due to COVID-19 - 9:34
https://www.terminationquestions.com: My employer is going to bring in a 25% pay cut next month. She says it is the only way the company will be able to weather COVID-19, and that she has the legal right to do it. I haven’t been told how long this will be for.

📞 Increased hours of work but no increase in wages - 24:20
EMPLOYMENT LAW SHOW Caller: I manage the service department at a car dealership. Most of the staff was fired at the start of the pandemic, and I’ve had to work extra days each week to keep things going. However, my pay hasn’t increased, and business hasn’t really slowed down at all.

❓ Laid off and not recalled as an independent contractor - 26:04
https://www.terminationquestions.com: I was working as a realtor for a large real estate company for 7 years when COVID-19 hit, and I was placed on a layoff. I expected to be recalled when the housing market picked up again but was told that I wouldn’t be returning and that they can make that decision because I’m actually a contractor. Is that true?
