Employment law?

Question

I work for a company that sell such things as outside ashtrays and smoking shelters.

We have only been going 10 weeks as a company and are finiding it slow. the 2 people have said that they may close the company down in 1 month, after only 10 weeks - do I stand anywhere legally or am i due any compensation?

Answer 1

unless you are in a union or were given a contract, your employment with these people is "at will", meaning they can terminate your employment for any reason, any time as long as it is not discriminating based on race, religion, sex, disability, or sexual orientation. the only thing you may be entitled to is unemployment benefits.
