What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
My job was eliminated at a fortune 500 company. They have retained me on from July 23rd (termination date) until August 30th 2013. For me staying on during this transition period, they will pay my regular salary and benefits. If I stay until August 30, and I do my job, They will pay me a lump sum bonus. I have agreed to work during this period. My question is, What if I get hired by a different department within the company before my transition date ends. Do I still get my bonus? Can they pro rate it? Can I defer my new position until September 1? The HR director still couldnt answer my question. I do have this in writing, but it does not mention anything about me getting rehired.
