It all depends on why the resentencing was ordered. If it has to do with information in the PSR, such as guideline calculations, then the PSR will be revised accordingly, although the presentence investigation is not redone in its entirety.

You can't be an employee at will and have an employment agreement.

Further, you may have several claims but obviously you need a consultation with a lawyer to understand your facts, review documents and advise accordingly.
