What is the name of your state? Illinois
My job laid me off due to some financial situation with the company and from what they tell me that they couldnt afford to keep me aboard. Now they are only paying me 2 weeks of severence pay and in order for me to recieve this 2 weeks pay I have to sign a release form. I have read the release form a few times trying to figure it out. What Im getting from it is once I sign this form they wont have to pay me for unemployment. So I need a lawyer to look over this release form and tell me should I sign the form to get my 2 week severence pay and collect unemployment or not to sign it because it is a waiver for me not to collect unemployment just the 2 weeks severence pay. Someone please advise......
