$23,650 Awarded after two rounds of correspondence – Home Sweet Home
We were successful in getting Chris a settlement of 14 weeks plus 75% of a Bonus plan that had not been properly tracked administered and was in effect after his first 3 months. This allowed him to sell his new home, purchase a vehicle again and re-locate back to his home city and gain employment again. Chris was 26, earned $60K per year and had a 10K bonus plan, he was employed for 11 months with a two weeks vacation plan for his first year.
Here are the facts:
- Chris was solicited through a former boss and left his current employer of five years to accept a Senior Marketing Management role in another province, he was provided a re-location package, signing bonus and company car
- After several months Chris wanted to put down more permanent roots in the way of purchasing a home and got further assurances of success and longevity from his employer before he made the purchase of a new construction home
- With less than a year of service Chris was let go based on the import market dramatically softening and given one week’s notice – period
- He had just taken occupancy of his house and now held a mortgage with no job and no car with which to find a job and was already financially maxed out with all the associated new home ownership costs
