What is the name of your state? New York
Sorry forgot to ask, is there any place that I can have the severance package my ex-employer afforded me reviewed? Yes, I know they don't have to offer me this, but it also includes alot of legal jargon that I don't understand. If any issue should come up along the way, maybe a discrimination issue, I don't want to sign this document if it would hinder the suit.
Also, I was switched from a salary pay to an hourly pay. How can I be sure that my employment status was identified right for the years previous to going to hourly pay. If I was working any kind of overtime in the past years and was receiving the same pay every week, wouldn't that be a different status. The change to hourly pay was suddenly made after an employee filed a suit against them for getting a "sourly" pay. I've never been absolutely sure or what my status was. According to their "compensation" statement in the handbook, adminstrative personnel are exempt, but under their "non-exempt" explination, administrative personnel fall under this category. Shouldn't your compensation "non-exempt" be the same as your explination of what "non-exempt" means be the same?
