sorry for being so vague. I wanted to settle this over PM originally. Normally, this forum could serve as a reference for others, but I don't think there are that many people in this situation or will be in the future, so I didnt think it was a big deal to make it more vague by deleting some stuff.

The severance thing would just be a nice bonus along with the job, but not a deal breaker.

The reason I dont take it too personally when they do something like this is that the people I work with directly aren't involved. Its just some people in some bureaucratic wing of the school that I have never really met.

I just wanted to know if I had a decent case for when I go in there again. If Im going to draw attention to myself, I would prefer to be in the right.

Short answer from what I have been able to glean from the thread:

IF you have worked MORE THAN one full year with that employer (who may be a subsidiary of the university) AND are enrolled into the NPS then you ARE also entitled to severance as per the labor standards acts.

IF you are actually working for the university AND enrolled in the private pension plan then they are NOT required to provide severance.

Yes, you can file a formal claim starting 14 days after the termination of your employment and IF I understood your circumstances correctly, you will win regardless of what may or may not be in your contract (you cannot contract away your legal entitlements under the law).
