What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I have recently resigned from a position at a company after 3 years. Right before I left, I discovered they have a HUGE class action law suit against them for unlawful practices in some states. In my resignation letter, I mentioned my knowledge of this.
Since my resignation, they have been calling me to make an appointment in order to sign resignation paperwork. They state they will hold on to my personal belongings until I do so. As a matter of fact, my manager's exact words were "If she doesn't sign the paperwork, well I guess she'll never get her stuff". Do I legally have to do this? I never signed any paperwork stating this would be a requirement if I were to resign. I just can't imagine this is legal. Any opinions or knowledge of this?
And I am very hesitant to go back to the office for several reasons. Mostly due to the fact that the job made me physically ill the last year or so I had been there, even requiring me to be out on disability for 5 months. The thought of going there even one more time makes me tense up and feel sick to my stomach.
Thanks for your time in reading this. If any other information is needed, please let me know.
