leaving job/ old job benifits

[JerryBurke]

Wisconsin. Leaving current job on 7th of Jan. '00, but would like to take the 1st -7th off (personal time with pay, company benifit), but risk loosing medical coverage for remainder of month of Jan. and also I become 100% vested in my 401K as of 1/1/00. Is there a law that prohibutes my employer from letting me go early (12/30/99) so they do not owe the medical coverage and the vestature of my 401K?

You do not want to find out or risk being fired or get into a lawsuit. I don't know Wisconsin law, your industry, your company or your role in it and I have not read your HR handbooks and manuals. In some industries they fire people who say they are leaving on the spot. In some companies they do also, in others they don't. The safest is to say nothing until 1/1/2000 and then offer to help them by staying longer.
