Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Termination: Change of status form legal requirement?
I was terminated from my position
and subsequently asked to sign a
Change of Status form. When I
refused, I was told that it was a
''legal requirement''; however, I've
found no evidence that this is true.
I've asked the HR director to give me
the exact CA labor code.

Re: Termination: Change of status form legal requirement?
You are correct in standing your ground. I am unaware of any such legal requirement and it be some sort of form to release any claims you might have against your former employer. I would demand a further explanation and have the form reviewed by a local attorney before agreeing to sign anything.
