I’ve been working with a company for just over 14 years. Three years ago the company was purchased by a new doctor. They had us sign contracts stating that our time worked in the company will now only count since their purchase and not the whole time we have been at the company. The staff were never fired and then rehired during the purchase, so I am wondering how binding is the contract as far as ESA Laws go towards the 14 years being there as I have recently been given “Working notice - Notice of termination without cause” from October 2, 2025 till November 27, 2025. Is it standard practice to also make someone work that length of time instead of paying severance? Thank you
