Depends on the state law. CA is generally an at will employment state. AFAIK, you are not eligible for unemployment if you resign in CA. If the severance being offered is more than you could make from unemployment benefits then you should get the severance check first and then resign. Otherwise don’t feel any obligation to resign.
I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. Please consult an employment lawyer if you feel that you really need definitive answers.
- throwawy1162020 6y agoGood advice. This is not CA, but my understanding of state law here is that I will not be eligible for unemployment if I resign or if I'm terminated for gross misconduct. Unlikely that they can claim gross misconduct given the circumstances. I definitely won't resign until I get a signed document from them.
