We have been laid off at a five mins notice. we are told we have to return to work to work for our severance pay. is this legal? which means we are on unemployment insurance for three weeks but have to return to work just to earn our severance pay?

Unemployment rules vary by state. The best place to ask this question is your state unemployment office.

Ronnie, do you mean you were told you were laid off and that you have to work until a date in order to get you severance? Yes that is legal. Not sure what your unemployment question is.....
