undefinedWhat is the name of your state? Massachusetts
I worked in a small, family-owned company for just over 1 year. In that time I had never received a written warning of poor performance. My boss (and his daughter) kept instances of "things that I screwed up" in their email. I was part of the management team, not just a schmuck doing day-to-day things. The both of them were verbally abusive on a daily basis, often screaming at me and other employees in front of the office. I was terminated for "typos" in my documents which also happened to coincide with a rather lengthy (and supposedly confidential) submission to our "suggestion box." When I left I was told that if I forgot anything I could come back and get it. That was almost two weeks ago and I have not been allowed back in the office. My employer also made it clear that he prefers catholics and republicans and often had us sign documents (at our own free will) supporting his beliefs. On one occasion he had us take leftover chips and cookies that were paid for by someone else but were not going to be used and bring them to our tradeshow booth.
1. Does the owner of the company have to follow the personnel policy?
2. I was not informed that my last paycheck would be held in the office and found out today that it is being overnighted to my house, any recourse?
3. If you are paid in any part of a month is your healthcare coverage extended for that month or does it end on the last day of employment?
4. Can the employer hold my things for an indefinate period of time?
5. Do I have a case for wrongful termination based on verbal abuse, not signing his documents, or stealing or can they say that I was fired for typos?
