Can I get severance pay?
About 33 of us have been laid off; 30 get severance. I worked 17 years full-time, 3 years part-time and 1 year per diem for this hospital. Due to the latter (per diem), they refuse to give me severance. Do I have a right to it?

The right to severance pay depends on the agreement between you & your employer. Sometimes that agreement is explicit, for example in personnel policies spelling out a right to severance. Sometimes that agreement is implied, for example where an employer has a long-standing practice of paying severance. You'll need to review that sort of information with an attorney to get an answer to your question.
