That doesn't sound right. I think it's up to the employer's discretion. If you're fired, I think you're far less likely to get a severance package.
- bsima 11y agoYeah I looked into this. At least in NY, I don't get any severance package or benefits. I only worked there for 5 months (6 is required[1]) and I'm still under my parent's health insurance and never bothered to sign up with my company's plan. However, this is definitely something that people should know. If someone is reading this and aren't clear on what their rights are, it's super beneficial to read up on this stuff before you get let go.

I might be eligible for unemployment benefits from the state (I'm putting in an application), but I certainly don't get a severance package from the company.
- zhte415 11y agoA different culture (country but more than that - approach to labour management). There's a probation period when the employer can dismiss instantly (3-6 months' in duration), after that period the company is seen to have 'approved' you as a regular worker with worker's rights defined in law.
