I asked if after the 5 months they would deny my unemployment claim. The HR guy said no. But, when I asked him if it was in the agreement, he said it wasn't. Since I know the owner very well and truly do not trust the guy, I know I am going to have to get an attorney.

I'll be happy to take your case at only $25 per hour. While I'm not really an attorney, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

So, here's my first hour of advice to you, file for unemployment..........

I'll send you my address via private FReepmail and you can send me the check. Thank you, it's been a pleasure handling your case.

If by chance your employer renegs on his statement and protests your claim for U.I., please feel free to contact me again and I will advise you on what to do next.........

If you do so, it will be denied. The employer will respond with a copy of what was offered in terms of severance. Then you are out of gas with UE AND with the severance package, which the employer can pull back after needing to waste time explaining that to Dept of Workforce Svcs / Dept of Labor. It's one or the other - you can't get both.
