Legal Question in Employment Law in New York
Severance Package
Recently my company has laid off employees in one division with a severance package but at the same time offered to ''pick-up employees for another area of the company with a large cut in salary. If I say 'not interested' to the position will it be considered ''quitting'' for the benefit of unemployment insurance?

Re: Severance Package
It make effect whether you are eligible for unemployment benefits. What it may mean is that you were offered similar work for an amount greater than unemployment benefits but you rejected the employment offer.
