What is the name of your state? Office in MA, Live in NH, Corp office - NJ. I was what I feel is wrongfully terminated today, Dec 6. Nonetheless, I worked all year and feel that I have earned the performance bonus that is supposed to be part of my salary. When I asked my employer if I would be getting this and he said he did not know, he would have to ask. It would normally be paid out in February. I want to know if the company has a legal obligation to pay this to me. It is due to my hard work and dedication that they were so successful with this group this year. I have been with this company 5 years and have had excellent performance reviews up until this incident that was brought on by here-say. No hard evidence. They did give me a 10 week severance package but it made no mention of the bonus. I have not signed that yet, wanting to be sure I secure this first. I also want to see if I am legally allowed to stop the state withholding to Massachusetts since I reside in NH and there is no income tax in this state - I will not be legally responsible for those taxes at year end so I do not see why I would have to pay them out of my severance pay. Thanks for any advice.
