Re: fired and 7 days to move
Hello,
Sorry to hear about your plight. In general, in Wisconsin employment law is tough on employees: you can be fired for no reason or any reason, and there is little you can do about it. And employers can put conditions on severance pay.
Did he point out the false statements to the owners? Sometimes the only options that exist are appeal within the employer. Because I dont know all the facts of your situation, I cannot give you a firm legal opinion that you can rely on. You should give a couple lawyers in your area a call and they will likely give you a free consultation over the phone to see if there are any arguments you can make. Good luck, Mark J. Mahoney
