It looks like your employer complied with all the laws during your layoff. However, based on your answers, you have previously experienced harassment at work. And we're here to help you get compensated for that.
It's sad to hear that you went through a layoff. However, we are here to help you restore justice. Based on your answers, it looks like you faced harassment at work. If this is correct, you are entitled to compensation. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, US employers pay more than $142.2 million a year in compensation for employment harassment complaints, and the average compensation is $31,741. However, only 20.1% of submitted complaints were approved in 2021. Therefore, finding a competent lawyer to help you draft the documents is essential. You can learn more about how to fight back against harassment and get compensated at https://allrights.us/harassment. How to get compensated for harassment: You can file a complaint online on the EEOC website, in person at an EEOC Office, by telephone, or by mail (all contacts are published on the EEOC website). Please note that you need to file a complaint within 180 calendar days from the day harassment took place. Sometimes, the filing deadline may be extended to 300 calendar days. Please note that only 20.1% of submitted complaints are approved. We advise you to find a competent lawyer to prepare the papers. Your employer may persuade you not to bring a claim against it in return for severance. An employer is not obliged to pay severance unless promised by your employment contract or the employer's policies or practices. If you agree to receive severance, try negotiating the terms with your employer before entering a severance agreement. It's advisable to give this agreement to an independent lawyer for review because it waives your right to file a claim against your employer.
