My father-in-law was a minority (20%) shareholder and president of a car insurance company. The majority shareholder abruptly terminated him in May, 2007 and they are now in legal proceedings. Meanwhile, I worked for the company for 2.5 years and they told me they would continue to pay me indefinitely (just don't come in to the office). I have since received paychecks every 2 weeks as normal. Last week they called, said they had planned on paying me for only 6 months, but since no one informed me of that they would pay me until the end of this year (about 5 more paychecks). I did nothing wrong and am being let go only because of the relationship with my father-in-law. Do I have any legal recourse for this termination? If I sign a release does that bar me from testifying in the case my father-in-law has against them? Would it be wise to counter-offer and ask for more? Just a little more FYI, my father actually passed away the same morning my father-in-law (and effectively myself) was let go. So this has been an even more troubling situation. Thank you for any help/advice you can give me.
