On Monday January 12,2015 my employer sold the company to a new company and laid everyone off without previous notice. They made us come in the next day which was Tuesday January 13,2015 and they told us if we didn't come re-apply for the new company or if we turned down a position we voluntairly quit. For the people that didn't get hired they gave them severance pay, but shouldn't we all receive severance pay because we all legally got laid off.

Severance fee is not an entitlement pay, it is voluntary and depends upon the time period of service. It is discretionary--but here very poorly applied. Annoying as it is but no legal recourse. Can you talk to the supervisor in a polite non-threatening way and ask for severance pay and find out what exactly is their policy in this regard. Furthermore, please do apply for unemployment benefits regardless of the severance issue. You should always contact a local and licensed attorneys.
