What is the name of your state? NY but company located in NJ
I know the post is a little long and I promise this will never happen again.
I informed my manager that the one resume i sent out, prior to the layoff's in January, was accepted and I was giving my 2 week notice. He responded "So you want to be laid off?" I said, "That would be great." He informed me, he was instructed an hour before, to layoff one person and proceeded to show me his book with it in writing. He also informed me he will put me in for the layoff and that I just saved someone else since Iwas not considered for this layoff at all.
My manager instructed me to let HR know I was leaving in writing which I did. I emailed my manager to inform HR that I took a voluntary layoff. He responded in the email to HR and myself, "Correct me if I'm wrong, you came to me with the intention of giving me your notice." To say the least, the other side of his face was just shown. The severance is 2 weeks per year of employment. This is a constant with the mass layoffs I have survived in almost 3 years of employment. Since I have not made a full 3 years (3 months shy) I receive 4 weeks which would be $4846.
1) Is it worth to pursue the 4800 or mark it up as experience?
2) 2 more short questions, I have 3 Personal days plus 100 hours of vacation time. I finished a college class in 4/25/2002, and signed papers that I am locked into them for 12 months. They stated that they did not pay the school until May so that is when it would start. Do they have the right to take the full amount($1200) out of my vacation pay, can it be prorated or are they required to send me a bill?
3) Final question (Thank you soooo much for your patience
). The 3 personal days left, I have 4 days of employment left (Wed-Sat nights). Could I be denied those if I request to take them or should I just call in sick? I have 2 weeks sick time. I work the night shift so they may say no to the personal days. Would there be any sort of retaliation by them if I call in sick the last 3 days? My last night is the 22nd I start the new job the 24.
If I am just whining in any of the questions please tell me. I do not take anything personally. Thank you for all your advise and again I apologize for the long post.
