Absolutely not. The only information an employee can give is whether or not you could be rehired within that company , your job description, and how long you were an employee within that company anything else is confidential and illegal.
yes they can.
Resignation can be equivalent to retirement. If you resign and you have no intention of seeking other work, then you are retired. If you resign but you still want to go back to work for some other employer, then you are just unemployed.
An employer cannot force anyone to do anything. You can resign, or they can decide to terminate you.
An employer can ask an employee if they are retiring as long as it is not done in a way that does not discriminate. It is not legal for an employer to tell an employee to resign because of his age. Also, an employee does not have to answer if his boss asks if he is retiring.
You resign when you leave or separate from an organization. If you didn't leave on your own then your employer terminated you.
Yes. Of course. It makes no differencew what your employment status is, you committed a crime.
UI is only paid when an employer lays off employees. If you resign or transfer, that is considered a "voluntary quit" and UI payments will not be received.
He is asking you to quit your job, so that he doesn't have to fire you.
Yes, it is very common for an employer to ask them to leave once they resign. The reason can be to avoid any issues of retaliation or upsetting the morale of those that are not leaving.
No, constructive discharge is when an employee is forced to resign due to unbearable working conditions created by the employer. Constructive retirement, on the other hand, is a voluntary decision by an employee to retire based on the terms offered by the employer.
If you are being asked to resign, it sounds like a polite way to lay you off, but the employer is hoping that, by "resigning", you would be classified as a "quit" and therefore ineligible for unemployment benefits. Ask your state's employment security office for their opinion and advise.
Could be a retirement incentive ... the company may offer several years salary in exchange for you taking early retirement. Wish my employer had done that for me years ago. On the flip side, it could also be a bribe ... which is illegal.
