My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Michigan.
I don’t think I did this right, but here is my question. I was fired after less than 3 months on my job for ‘at will’ reasons. When fired, they promised me severance. After waiting to hear from them for a week, I got an email saying that they were not going to pay due to the fact that they discovered that I was involved with a supplier that I brought to them and they didn’t know till now so they are not paying. Firstly, they DID know I was involved with the supplier since the first day of my interview.
When they offered me a job, they said that they didn’t want me working on the side business with the suppiler so I could concentrate fully on my duties. I agreed. But, they were more than happy to buy new packaging, displays and bottles through this supplier because I was able to get greatly reduced pricing due to my involvement. They new all along. The supplier even sends invoices using my address.
Regardless, I don’t think any of this matters. I don’t think they can come up with new reasons not to pay after it’s been agreed upon. Am I wrong?
