If Dell gave you a big promise to keep you stay, but laid off you before paying the money soon. Should Dell keep his promise while still paying your benefits?
As below, I asked Dell to pay me the incentive cash right away after I was laid off, and HR said she would investigate and reply me. After I waited and argued a long long time, I was promised to receive the money in the next pay. After waiting a long time, I got a small part of the incentive cash. At last, I filed a case in Ontario small claims court.
My questions are listed below:
1: I signed the layoff document after receiving HR's words to investigate this case. It means I still have the right to claim my incentive cash. Right?
2: The settlement case on March 28. What documents should I prepare?
3: Any ideas to remind me to prepare this meeting?
In the future, you can contact me at fightdell@gmail.com if:
1: You want to know more info about this case to help me;
2: You do not know how to file a case properly;
If you cannot contact me, but you get more info regarding my case in a public place. The case number is: SC17000009960000 (filed on Sept 30, 2017 in Ontario small claims court).
Till now, my lessons from this case are listed below for you who wants to fight Dell:
1: Do not use EMC/Dell EMC/Dell Inc. You should use the local legal name, which is listed in your lay off document such as: Dell Canada Inc.
2: You have to send the documents to the site manager in person. Otherwise, you wasted your time.
Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for your time to read the complicated story.
I joined EMC in Dec. 2012, and I worked in Dell EMC since 2016. I was laid off in Jan. 2017.
I have tried to deliver the documents to Dell EMC 3 times, and Dell Canada Inc. received the documents for all 3 times.
-
1st time: On October 7, 2017 through the registered email;
-
2nd time: On December 7, 2017 by visiting the site manager;
-
3rd time: On January 4, 2018 by visiting the site manager;
I was promised to get a big incentive cash in March 2017, but I failed to claim it after trying to contact Dell many times. It is clear that:
1: At the beginning, my manager told me that this cash is used to keep the talent guys at Dell EMC;
2: Dell promised I would get the incentive cash on May 2 2017, but Dell changed;
3: On Jun 16 2017, Dell said they were discussing this case again;
I believe Dell Canada Inc. has enough time to prepare the defense document, but till now, I have not receive any defense mails from Dell Inc. yet, so I would like to apply the default judgment for this case between Dell Canada Inc. and ***.
If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email (*), or call me at ***.
Thank you very much!
