Q: employment question
I worked for the company Capstone Logistics that's got a national lawsuit for robbing their employees, I worked for them in Miami florida and in Clackamas Oregon. capstone offers lumper services at big company warehouses like fred Meyers and winn Dixie. in Clackamas Oregon fred Meyers ended their contract with capstone due to the lawsuit as I was told and fired their 190 employees that worked there including me, the notice was given on march 3rd and will be affective on april 3rd. shouldn't they pay us our last check for the next 3 months or so. or give us any type of help?
A: It sounds like you are asking about severance pay, and that is not required. IF you are asking about the penalties for violation of the WARN Act for only giving 30 days notice, that assumes the WARN Act applies. There are exceptions, and perhaps not all of the 190 employees count as some could be contract workers/independent contractors/not worked there long enough.
