Legal Question
Laid off, boss kept on employee renting house
I was recently laid off. The reason they gave was for
adverse business conditions. The department that lost
the big IBM account has a person who rents a house
from my boss. I was let go, and she was trained for my
job. This smacks of a slight conflict of interest. Do I
have any recourse.
Also, they gave me a letter stating that if I signed it, they
would give me $4,400.-, but the letter states that I would
not be able to sue them. Also, if I sign it, can I still apply
for unemployment.
Thanks.
