Unretained BI reps are in a 60 day Warn period that began June 29. They do not work during this time but are still employees of BI and receive full pay and benefits. If during that 60 day period, they interview for a BI job, are offered it, and then reject it, they lose their severance. Lesson to learn - Don't interview unless you really want the job. Of course, if they accept it, they get no severance because they are not "severed". After August 31 the reps will officially be unemployed by BI and all positions moving forward at BI will be filled by Ashfield. After August 31 an unemployed BI rep can appy for any position with any company anywhere, including Ashfield, and if hired they would still receive their severance.
