VerifiedHi! A few minutes please as I review your question so I can provide you with legal information-thanks!I’m sorry you are losing your job. So you are asking if prior years in another company count?
Thank you for that new question regarding severance liability for the original company. Per the site rules I can only address one question per page. Since this was about company b please post the company a question in a new page. There is no additional charge for doing so. Thank you kindly.
