Legal Question in Discrimination Law in New Jersey

Company Closing/Downsizing

I am HR Director for a company that may be closing one of its offices in the NJ area. The office that may be closing is in the Princeton area. We would relocate people to one of our offices in the Parsippany area (under 50 miles away). If an employee declined to accept a job at one of those locations, could we deem that a resignation? In other words, are we legally required to offer severace packages to those employees who were given the option to relocate?

Not my area of the law, but if your company is that big to have and HRD, how do you not have attorneys on retainer to cover all of this stuff? If you want a labor law attorney, I can refer you to one.
