What is the name of your state? Ohio
Myself and some co-workers were terminated from ours jobs after many years of being with the company. One of my co-workers had 12 sick days left she had not used. The company did pay us thru the end of the week and paid us our vacation time we had left. Do they have to pay for accrued sick time as well?
Also they did not provide any COBRA information. When we called them the next day they said there was no paperwork and that they did it all over the phone and if we wanted to continue our insurance for the following month we would have to send them (the company that fired us) a check. I always thought they had to provide us with paperwork for the cobra rights, that spelled everything out and gave us a premium amount?
One more thing, in my review last year, I was granted a third week of vacation by one of the owners. When I brought it up this year on my anniversary date, the manager said she did not know anything about it. So I went to the owner and he said oh yeah I remember (and so does the lady who was doing payroll at the time). Well then when I had my review this year they told me it was never in writing even though the owner said he did give it to me last year and told the other owner and office manager this. Well then they said they would discuss it and get back to me. Well they never did and when I kept asking about they would put it off. Then 2 weeks before my termination one of the owners stopped me in the hallway and said since we gave it to you we cant take it back. Well then of course when I was terminated I asked if I would be paid for that week as well and was laughed at. Needless to say when I got my final pay they did not pay me for that week. Do I have any legal action on that? The co-worker who also was aware of the vacation is still employed there. The problem we have is the owners are real estate lawyers who think they know it all!!
