loss of severance pay if I accept a position at another place
The preschool that I work for is closing down. They have offered severance pay in writing. The preschool up the street that has agreed to take our children & some of our teachers. It was stated verbally that if I accept a job from this preschool I would not be intitled to my severance pay. Can they do that?
