I have worked for a Papa Johns pizza place as a store manager for 2yrs and I got layoff. The owner came in and laid me off and told me to go home. No notice, no severance pay, nothing!!! Then they hired someone else to do my job a few months later. Is there anything I can do? I want my job back or severance pay! Thanks

Employment laws vary from State to State. In Texas which is a right to work state then the boss can fire you without cause. You can draw unemployment however. There is no law anywhere that I am aware of that makes an employer pay severance pay that is an option of the employer. Good Luck.
