Joe Had Been Working for Sam in a Supervisory Position

question 11

Essay

Joe had been working for Sam in a supervisory position for 14 years when Sam called him into the office, told him that he didn't have any more work for him to do, and told him that he would be expected to be off the job and the relationship terminated by the end of the month (1-1/2 weeks away). During his 14 years of employment, Joe had worked in a number of positions, but when he assumed his most recent supervisory position one year prior, he had signed an agreement stating that he was only entitled to one week's notice. This agreement also provided him with a substantial raise. Discuss the legal position of the parties.
