Question
An old friend contacted me recently. He is about to retire from a manufacturing company where he has worked for over 30 years. He indicated that he is leaving with a "sour taste in his mouth". He told me that about four years ago, his position was reclassified from a management position to a non-management graded position. At the time, he was told that he would be "grandfathered" as a manager so that he would not suffer any negative effects. However, he indicated that it instead of receiving his normal raise each year, he received an annual lump sum payment (of the same amount). He feels that this did impact him financially and therefore is leaving his company feeling very negative. Should he contact an attorney? Does he have a legitimate legal claim? Why or why not?
Explanation / Answer
No, he should not contact an attorney becuse he doesn't have a legitimate legal claim. The company has a right to change the designation of any employee as per company policy.Moreover, company has paid him every penny that they owe to the person so there is no case of financial loss.there is only one chance where the person can contact the attorney if he has contract in written about the promise of position and company has deviated from that contract.
