Legal Question in Business Law in Ohio

Warren Act

I worked for a large home building

company. So far this year, they have

been down-sizing sales centers in

great numbers. I was informed on

June 9, 2008 that I would be losing

my job due to my sales center

closure. I was not given a final date

of work until last Thursday, June 26,

2008. My last day of work was

today, July 2, 2008. I was given a

severance package of 2 weeks salary.

I have accrued 2 weeks vacation that

I was told would be ''prorated''. After

seven days from July 2, if I sign a

waiver agreeing not to file suit

against the company for ANY reason,

I was offered an additional 2 weeks

salary. Is this legal? What about the

Warren Act? Also, I live and work in

Ohio, but the company is based out

of Florida.

Re: Warren Act

Dear Inquirer: NEVER, NEVER sign anything without your Attorney's advice and review!!!

The Warren Act requires 60 days' written notice of closure by an employer, etc. If in doubt about your rights, consult an Attorney ASAP.

Good luck.

sincerely,
