What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma My company has had to lay off several employees. Two weeks ago there were three laid off with severance pay.

Couldn't this be considered discrimination since other employees recieved severance but we didn't.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
