My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Iowa
I was let go from a company this past November. I worked for the company for 6 1/2 years with nothing short of exemplary performance. My old boss felt I had been talking behind him behind his back and therefore wrote me up for a number of false (can be proven) events. Long story short, I contacted HR and was promised an HR investigation would be done (he has a history of people leaving b/c of him). After asking HR 3 times if an investigation was done I was told a third time that none was ever done and that they had "dropped the ball". Ultimately he managed to get me fired and the reason they gave me was I was "unhappy" (nothing related to performance.
My questions is surrounding the separation package agreement I signed. I signed a separation agreement because they said I would not get my severance of $6k if I didn't sign it. They only gave me 5 days to sign it (2 of which were sat and sun) and stated that I had 0 (zero) days to revoke it. I have been looking online and am wondering if they actually needed to give me more days to sign it as well as at least 7 days to revoke my signature. I have found some info online that states that if at least 7 days is not given then the agreement is null and void if you are over 40. I am only 29. Does this 7-day rule still apply to me?
Thanks,
