New York
My boss informed me because of him being slow he is forced to lay me off and cancel all my health
benefits on January 1st.
every one else in the shop still has their jobs, They are all non-citizen workers. I know one is
legal.
one i think is illegal.
I told them to watch out because they may be next and was told they were working extra hours, 6 days a
week,
My boss and his wife who is the book keeper suggested I contact the unemployment dept of NY since i
was eligible.
they owe me vacation pay and i am afraid to ask for it as they might cancel my health before Jan 1st.
Now I have filed claim for unemployment and the form asks if you are owed vacation pay, i checked YES.
Now i find i will be denied benefits for this week because of that.
Now I find the want me to work under the table building an addition on their home for 200 dollars a
day , much less than i was making before, but as they pointed out with unemployment at 405.00 a week.
I would be making the same or more, but with no health insurance.
these people are complete creeps.
do i have any case against them?
I have busted my butt for them for 7 years, now they treat me like this.
I used my own vehicle every day with no reimbursement ever.
