Report Filed: Sundance Helicopters Inc Air Methods Inc ,Parent Company, Used Deceptive Clause on Severance Agreement to Not Pay Severance Pay Las Vegas Nevada!!
During my employment with Sundance Helicopters, I sustained a work injury which I reported as a workers’ compensation injury. My claim was accepted and I received physical therapy, medications and an MRI for my injury. To my knowledge, my claim was never disputed by Sundance Helicopters. This workers’s compensation claim was filed in February, 2014. On August 13, 2014, I was given notice that I was being laid off. My position was being eliminated. I was given a document titled Confidential Severance and Release Agreement. My severance pay was contingent upon me signing this document. After reading all the components to the document, I could not not sign the document because there was a clause that stated that I was warranting, admitting, acknowledging, and agreeing that I had not suffered any work-related injury as an employee. I feel I was bullied into not signing the document, because if I had, I would have been admitting that I had not suffered the work injury which I received treatment for. I had no choice but to walk away from the severance pay. I am not a liar. I did have a work-related injury. This company is owned by a publicly traded company, Air Methods, Inc. An internet search will reveal how deceptive Air Methods has been with both their employees and the general public.
