I work in a warehouse on a military base. Our workforce was initially 7 people. Some quit, retired and was promoted. The work force is now down to 3.5 people. The employer has yet to hire anyone. The positions are funded, and there is no shortage of applicants. We are in a union. The work load has... Read more »
Generally, yes. The employer is not required to hire people unless there are union agreements or agreements with others that would require as much.

Good luck to you.
You have not asked a question so I am not sure what you are looking to find out. No one is forced to resign unless there is a gun to their head. If you resigned because of some kind of threat from the employer, then more would need to be known about the threat.
If you had permanent work... Read more »

I was recently terminated but my employer did not pay all monies owed and his way of firing me was blackmailing me by stating that if I didn't resign, he would follow a police report.

Ask your employer about whether you have been accruing any retirement benefits.
Good luck to you.

"Termination Certification" of the employment agreement you signed, you explicitly agreed to sign it (the attached was part of that agreement) and to keep Delerrok advised... Read more »
You have no duty to do anything with regard to a former employer. Even if you promised to sign the document at termination, if you fail to sign, it is so remotely possible that the employer would bring some kind of legal action against you to sign such a document that there is little risk in...

The manager is not an owner. It is a franchise restaurant.
No, there is nothing unlawful about an employer only hiring people who owes them money.

The nature of your termination is also relevant. If you were terminated for misconduct, for instance repeatedly coming to work... Read more »
