Guest Stacie Hild Posted February 4, 2001 Posted February 4, 2001 Please bear with me...I was laid off from my job January11, 2001. I was given a written letter offering me two weeks severance pay. When I asked about my earned vacation, first I was told the policy changed. Then I was told that they wanted to lay me off on the 9th (one day before I earned my vacation)but because I went home sick, I screwed up their plans. I was told that if I pushed the issue on the vacation, they would rewrite the letter and take back the severance! Well, I pushed and they did. I filed a small claims case after consulting with a lawyer. I believe that I have been paying one month in advance for my medical benefits (at the very least, I was paying for the current month. Yesterday I find out that they cancelled my insurance effective on the 12 of Jan. They issued my final check to me on the 12th and had deducted my insurance!Can they do this? I never received any notification. They are a small employer (10-15 employees) so cobra does not apply. I figured I would have coverage through this month at the very least. Now I have nothing? Because I filed the small claims case, do I have to amend it or something? I'd like to have the insurance back, but if I can't do that I want my money back. Will my case be moved out of small claims because of this. I also suspect that they purposely marked me as deceased on my W-2, although I can't prove that. Sorry this is so long winded. Please help if you can. Thanks....Stacie
