I got pulled into the office at work on Friday and told I had 2 choices. 1 resign, 2 be terminated. Our insurance company investigated some of my medical claims. And believe they are fraud. And they sent a letter to my work. I haven't been to court and charged, or the police have not even tried to contact me. I know they were looking for a reason to fire me. I haven't signed anything. They want me to come in on Monday to sign. I don't want my job back now. Just some sort of payout. I've worked there for 5 years. Another thing is the bosses son was arested last year. For having a loaded hand gun and drugs in his car.His dad post bail and he came back to work right away with a ankle monitor on. Can I get a payout? I think it's a little early to be fireing me.
If you did not submit fraudulent insurance claims, then you are absolutely entitled to severance which could easily be worth 6 months pay or more, depending on your age and position. In that case, you should call me as soon as possible. On the other hand, if you did do it, the company has cause to let you go and you are not owed anything.
