Relocate
I have an issue that Im trying to find
the best way to deal with. I
currently live in CA and originally
work for a company that was based
in CA when I was hired. The
business was bought out a year ago
(and they've kept me on board) by a
company based out of Colorado. I've
been making frequent trips back and
forth (maybe twice a month). I have
just been given somewhat of an
ulimatum.
''We want you to work for us, but we
need someone in our offices in
Colorado.''
While I undertstand where they are
coming from, I am not willing to
relocate and Im trying to gather and
understand my legal rights.
- If my reasoning for not relocating is
due to prior obligations ive had when
first hired (selling house, spouse
can't relocate thier job, family
obligations here in CA, etc), will I be
more likely entitled to somewhat of a
serverence package...things of that
nature?
Any advise would be greatly
appreciated as to help steer me in
the best direction as to the best
avenue to take with this (legally of
course). Thanks and i'm anxious to
hear what people have to say.
Re: Relocate
You are not 'entitled' to a severance package unless that is promised by company policy or other written agreement with you. If you refuse to move and are terminated, you will likely be entitled to unemployment benefits. As suggested by others, if I were you, I'd seriously consider moving out of the People's Republik of California if offered any incentive to do so with financial help in the move.
