Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Virginia
Laid off prior to agreed upon check
I work for a company that agreed to pay me X amount in April 08 pending my employment status is active. Today I got laid off and was told that I would not be receiving the X amount since my employment status will no longer be active in April. Do I have grounds to go after them?

No, I see no such grounds, particularly in view of the presumed fact that in all likelihood you had no guarantees of anything since you probably did not have a contract of employment whereby such promises might be enforced.
