One month ago I got offer letter from A company, therefore I quit my current position in University, but just one week before I am supposed to begin to work in that A company, they call me that they are going to break that employment agreement and agree to pay me 2 weeks salary if I sign release letter for them ( It means that I have no leagle right to sue them whatsoever). However my intuition is that 2 weeks salary is unfair, I am unemployment right now as a result of their unacceptable behavior, can I ask more compensation than 2 weeks salary? if anyone have similar experience or have idea to deal with this situation, please give me suggestion, I really appreciate your help and suggestion.

无论书面或口头承诺，公司均有义务给你补偿。找个好律师，谈好价钱，赢了分成，输了就付些政府的费用。试试吧 -wooway(纯洁中文运动<加东区>); 2002-7-22 (#650442@0)

非常感谢你的建议,但不知道找什么样的律师比较好, -little_tom(little_tom); 2002-7-22 {115} (#650820@0)
我问了一个律师, 他告诉我代表我向公司写一封信和做一些这种案子的研究, 要花2.5小时, $200/hr, 而且也不知到结果会怎么样.

我的消息是从workshop学来的，有一个不是非常有效的建议：就近找HRDC的分支机构咨询一下，这些政府机构应该有免费的咨询和律师推荐的。 -wooway(纯洁中文运动<加东区>); 2002-7-22 (#650848@0)

你有两个选择，一接受该公司的方案再去找一个工作，二请一名劳资关系律师和该公司对簿公堂或者私下和解，但要记住劳资律师的费用一般为１２０加元一小时（最一般的），而且不一定能打赢，取决于你当初如何与该公司定的合同（口头的？） -fatboy(fatboy); 2002-7-22 (#650450@0)

当初与公司的合同是书面的. -little_tom(little_tom); 2002-7-22 {97} (#650836@0)
正是因为律师费用很高, 所以就不知道有没有必要请一名劳资关系律师和该公司进行交涉, 合同是非常正式的.

你可以约一名劳资律师谈半小时，付他５０－６０元，把合同和故事用简明扼要的办法讲给他听（事先多练练啊），他一般会在５分钟以内告诉你ＣＡＳＥ是否成立，他愿不愿接你的案子，至于你愿不愿化这半小时质询费，那就看你自己了 -fatboy(fatboy); 2002-7-22 (#650943@0)

not likely,depending on contract terms.Usually there's a probation period,they can fire u anytime during probation.2wks compensation are good enough. -fff(钱是我们的亲亲宝贝); 2002-7-22 (#650834@0)

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛至少从我看来, 你有希望能找回更多. 因为此公司违背合约, 造成你UNEMPLOYED局面, 可以告: BREAKING CONTRACT AND DAMAGE...

你可以做一下几项:
1. 到省HR部门"FILE A COMPLAINT", 即使你请律师, 他们也会做这一步. 要尽快去, 有期限.

2. 约一个律师谈, 要求半小时的FREE CONSULTATION, 把情况将给他听, 尤其要带上合同. 问他通常这样的CASE如何处理.
尤其要问: ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE THIS CASE ON A CONTIGENCY BASIS. 如果他们答YES, 说明他们对你的CASE有信心, 否则他不会接. 但注意有些LAW FIRM压根不做CONTIGENCY的案子, 不要从他们的拒绝中感到没希望.

3. 花几百元RETAIN A LAWYER, 要求他给公司写信, 如果你的要求不是很高, 比如想要3个月的工资, 很有可能公司会和你SETTLE, 因为这比他们请律师要便宜.

4. 当然你要很清楚, 不管多有理的CASE, 都有不能赢或者即使能赢, 你没有DEEP POCKET把这个官司打完. 那你的律师费就白花了.

5. 还要注意, 你和什么样的公司打官司. 不要和没有钱的公司打官司.

个人建议, 请律师看合同, 通过律师写信, 要求3-6个月工资, 如果3个月你就满足的话, 可能性很大; 如果你的胃口大, 风险也大. 如果律师第一封信没有起作用, 请律师去FILE A WRIT(不需要很多钱, 你也可以自己去法庭FILE), 这样公司知道你动真格的, 而且他们必须请律师FILE A RESPONSE, 很有可能就和你SETTLE了.

个人意见, 仅供参考. 不可当作专业意见.
