My fiance just returned to work after a week long vacation. He was told that the company he works for no longer exists and that they are now a new company. The president and vice-president changed positions under the new company name. In order to work for this new company, they want him to sign a letter of voluntary resignation from the old company name and to sign a new company contract which places his employment under a probationary status that excludes him from benefits and states that he could be terminated at any time during the probationary period without recourse to unemployment compensation. He told the employer that he would not sign the papers without thoroughly reading them first, and was promptly sent home. He does not want to sign the "voluntary resignation" paper, because he did not resign. He also does not want to sign the new contract because of the probationary status and the deprivation of his benefits during this probationary period. What are his rights under these circumstances? Can the company legally make his employment contingent upon signing a voluntary resignation, and take away the benefits he had accrued?
