can a company sell one of their locations to another company, with the employees? the Seller does not want to provide severance or unemployment benefits to their current employees. They arranged with the new owners, if they keep the current employees for the 90 probation to the new company, then the employees will not be offered unemployment benefits. Once the 90 days probation is completed with the new owner, they intend to drop the pay to minimum wage and make them reapply for all the positions. the new owner said they will not offer unemployment because they are offering the 90 probation instead and was agreed with the sellers. Is this legal to do?
