Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
Job Termination
I was recently laid off by my
employer. Three weeks previously,
my employer created a new
position and moved me into it.
They then promoted another
employee to my old position at a
much low salary. I trained this
employee. They then terminated
me due to elimination of the
position they had just created for
me. What is the legality of this?
The position existed for three
weeks and was eliminated. I know
an employer cannot terminate due
to age and in-turn salary, but I feel
they tried circumventing this by
creating a fake position in order to
move me and eliminate me.

Re: Job Termination
You are asking for a guess as to why you were terminated (and an assumption the reason given was not the real reason). You mention age, but provide no facts (not even your age). A finding of unlawful discrimination takes much more than a "feeling."
