In 2015, Ben, at age 50, was hired as the general manager of the Main Street Shipping Company by Lee, the company president. In January 2021, for no apparent reason, Lee called Ben into his office, and told him his services were no longer required and Ben was terminated immediately. Lee offered Ben a week's salary as "severance pay." At the time of termination, Ben was earning a salary of $70,000 per year, received company paid pension contributions of $5,000 annually, and, in 2020, had received a $5,000 bonus for good performance of Ben. Explain the relevant law and advise Ben of his rights, if any.
