My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Washington
Hi, I wanted to know if my situation is a example of a resignation or a laid off.
At work my manager inform me that they will be relocating me to a different location. They will no longer have employee's work in the location I am in.
They would like me to work in either one of the two location that they offered me but both location is 20 miles away from my house.
When my manager inform me about this, she told me that I have a few week to let her know what decision I make but if I don't take the position in either one location then I am resigning because the position is open for me to take and she want me to sign some paper of resignation.
I apply for the job I am in because it was only 2 mile away from my house and they are now moving me to a different location which is further and the amount I make is a bit low that my gas expense will go up if I take either one location.
I am interested in applying for unemployment because the position is too far from me. But if I sign the paper for resignation then I will not get it.
Can someone explain to me if this is really a resignation situation and if it is do I really need to sign those papers?
