Currently employed in Illinois. I'm hoping I describe enough of my situation here, if any more information is needed please let me know and I'll be happy to comply.
At the beginining of February, I informed my employer I would be moving. They preferred that I give them advance notification of when I might be quitting, so I did. I told them that my last day of work would be April 22. I sent an e-mail to the HR manager and my specific manager informing them of this. I received an e-mail (the same letter also via post office) back from the HR manager stating that "due to the company's needs" my actual last day of employment would be April 1, but they would continue to pay me until April 22. They would also pay me for any unused and accrued vacation for the current year. The letter has the VP's name of the company on it at the bottom. The e-mail was copied to him, the Director of Operations, and my specific manager.
My question is, is this binding? Does this require them to pay me as it states? I get this feeling that they want to get out of it, just from typical office rumbling. From what I have heard, the VP and the Dir. of Op. act like they don't even know this is the plan, even though they received this e-mail over a month ago. Can they weasel their way out of it, or am I safe? Thank you to ANYONE who can reply and help me out a bit.
