Essay

Following 22 years of employment as an accounts' manager with a medium-sized manufacturing firm, Chandrani's employer was placed into receivership and the assets of the firm were sold. As a result, her contract of employment was terminated. Chandrani completed an application for employment with Xenco Inc., which had purchased the assets from the receiver. Xenco accepted Chandrani's application and she commenced employment immediately. All of Chandrani's employment records were transferred from the defunct files of her former employer. She was given the responsibility of supervising a department of fifteen employees, and within six months was awarded a substantial wage increase commensurate with other employees at Xenco with long standing. Shortly thereafter, Xenco began to experience declining sales as the result of an economic downturn and, after 18 months of employment, Chandrani's services were terminated. Discuss the issues presented by this fact situation. What responsibilities rest with Chandrani?
