🔹 Employee on leave terminated no severance offered - 2:23
I've been on leave for about a year due to a serious medical condition. I'm receiving treatment but my employer recently informed me that my employment will end and I won't be entitled to severance because I've been on leave. Is this right?

Caller from bit.ly/Employment-Law-Show: "A family member has been given 8 months of working notice after 37 years with the company. At the end of that time, she’ll be paid unused vacation time, but no severance. Is she owed anything?"
