Legal Question in Administrative Law in California

Re: Relocate

Having grown up in Colorado myself, my first bit of advice would be to TAKE IT. Take it, take it, move to Colorado, and never look back. But that would be a personal and not a professional opinion.

I assume you are an "at-will" employee, in which case you are not "entitled" to anything. Only you know your company's culture, so you would be in the best position to say whether they typically provide severance packages or not. My practical advice would be to not burn any bridges, and just try to get your employer to work toward the best possible result for you.

Re: Relocate

Legally you would not be entitled to anything. Like Mr. Clayton pointed out, if your company has a history of providing severance packages then maybe you will receive something. Otherwise, if you don�t take their offer, and you are not a contract employee, then they could let you go and only be obligated to pay to any monies and vacation earned at the date of termination and that would be it.

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.
