My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Michigan
I have a bit of a complicated situation. My husband was offered a job in a different state that will start in mid-July so my employer has known that I have an end-date fast approaching. I'm also 8 months pregnant and I receive excellent health insurance through my employer. I qualify for FMLA, which I would like to use to cover the birth and until my husband begins his new job. Because my employer knows I will be moving and not returning to my position, she would like me to submit a letter of resignation with a future date (mid-July) so she can interview and fill my position.
I am wondering whether if by submitting this letter my benefits will be in jeopardy. Both my manager and my HR reps have assured me verbally that they will honor my benefits if I submit a letter, but they will not put that in writing. Please advise!
