What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IL
The company I work for just sold my division to small local company. My company said severance would only be paid to me if I wasn't offered a position with the purchasing company. If my company had just laid me off or closed the division I woudl receive 24 weeks of severance. Is it possible that in the sale of the business they have written in that they have to make me an offer, if so is this legal and can I challenge to receive severance? I just relocated here (relocated by the company at their request) so I would rather take my severance and head back to my home state.
Do I have a case that I should be paid severance if I am offered a position with the new company?
At what point is an offer vaild..IE what if they offer me a managment position with 1/2 pay that I currently have. What if they offer me a different position? Will my company not have to pay me severance in these cases?
Can I tell the new buyer I don't want to work for him and please do not make me an offer?
Thank you for the advice
