@vt_mruhlin said:Though you ended up coming back at contractor rates, which I assume were 4 to 5 times what you were making as a salaried employee... did you end up getting the last month's pay as well?  If you were entitled to it, you should have kept fighting. Either I misread something or your laws are different than ours though.  I read that part about getting the form to mean "you're fired as of now", which seems to indicate that you're not entitled to get paid for the rest of the month (unless you have that many unused vacation days to pay out).  Didn't get the month's salary - I took legal advice and although I was entitled to it it would have been so much hassle that it just wasn't worth it. Besides I'd already beeen offered a contract abroad by then ;)  Boss's argument was that "you're not fired, I just sold you".  Oh, great, thanks. That really helps ;)
