Hi there I am a female, 64 years old, I have been working, hairstylist, at a company since June of last year. The job was part time about 20 to 24 a week, now its going down to 13 to 18 hours a week. My question is can they do that and if I were to quit would I get severance pay. Thank you for your help Melissa
Dear Melissa,
Many thanks for your question. The reduction of your weekly hours/earnings as proposed by your employer is significant: in law, it is considered a dismissal by the employer. You should absolutely be able to obtain a severance package. However, before you quit, it is best that you first speak to a lawyer, who can fully assess your situation and determine how much your severance package should be. We can help - call or email us using the contact information below. We would be pleased to assist you.
