Legal Question in Employment Law in New York
I was terminated by a company in New York after working only 6 weeks after disagreement over my employment terms. Prior to beginning employment with the company it was agreed over email with the company that I could not be terminated for 6 months. It was also agreed that we would formalize the agreed employment terms in a contract after starting. After finalizing the employment contract, the company refused to execute it and subsequently terminated me; however I had already started working and had begun being paid my normal salary and receiving benefits. What should I do? The company contends the email agreement was a proposed arrangement that was not finalized.

That sounds like a difficult situation but if the company never agreed to the terms (by countersigning the agreement), it would be hard to enforce those terms.
Nonetheless, your ability to obtain additional compensation from the company would depend on the content of those emails and your ability to negotiate a severance package with the company.
My office handles severance matters such as these and you can review my website SeveranceAttorney.com for more information and contact us by email if you would like to arrange for a consultation.
Good luck!
