[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why it's written into all of my contracts.  If I'm let go (not my fault), I get a minimum of 2 weeks notice (and you will pay out the two weeks, whether you choose to have me work it or not), and 1 week's pay as severance per year I worked for you.[/quote]

[b]Yeah, I'd never hire you if this was in your contract.  [/b]You're trying to double dip if you expect 2 weeks paid even if you're not working plus 1 wk/yr.  I would not put myself in a position of being contractually obligated to pay out 4-5 weeks at time of separation.

This language would never be in a contract I'd use.  You get notice or severance (assuming not being fired for cause).  You don't get both.  Any bonus I choose to give you at the end for stellar performance is completely optional.

If this has been your experience more than once, that's even more evidence that I wouldn't hire you.

And I'm tired of being told on a Wednesday that I won't be needed after Friday, and the family doesn't think they need to give me one penny more than what I make that week.[/quote][/quote]
