Add Comment Question: A larger group has acquired my company and my current company is "going away". I have been notified by letter I've been given a one-year work in lieu of severance with no place to sign or "accept" but to acknowledge I have received it by email. Does a neutral response such as "thank you for sending" or "il review, thanks" affect any action I may or may not take against the employer in the future? Answer: Acknowledging receipt of the letter will not impact your right to pursue action against the employer in the future.
