My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Iowa where my former company is located. (I live and work in Minnesota).
I verbally submitted my resignation to my former company this past Monday morning (Oct. 15th) via a phone call to my former boss/owner effective immediately. The phone conversation was very cordial. I had been passively seeking employment for the last 6 months. I just accepted a fantastic opportunity with a company this past Saturday afternoon and began working for my new company this past Monday. I spent this past Sunday cleaning the car and loading it up with all of the former company's property and left it with the keys in an envelope labeled 'ABC/ACME Co' at a secure place they can locate and pick the car up at. I receive the following email from the former boss/owner:
"Good morning Sxxxxxx,
Your resignation is official as of Monday, December 15th, 2018 at 9:44 A.M. After this date, you will not receive any compensation, commissions, or benefits.
I believe you are eligible for continuation of our healthcare plan, for a certain period of time and at your expense. The rules for continuation are dictated by state. I will check with our insurance representative for further information. I suggest you research healthcare continuation from your end as well.
I need to check with our 401(k) administrator as well. I believe you will be required to “rollover” your 401(k).
Please be keenly aware of the following:
You are responsible for the company vehicle, including any damage to the company vehicle, until it is returned to ABC/ACME Co. office, or until I take possession of it.
You are also responsible for any company property, materials, and/or samples until they are returned. If they are not returned, we will send you an invoice for the cost of their replacement.
You are bound by a non-compete contract. If you decide to seek employment at one of our direct or indirect competitors, within the timeframe of our contract, then ABC/ACME Co. will enforce the non-compete.
Good luck in your future endeavors,
Sxxx
I do not fully trust my former boss (one of the many reasons I decided to leave the company in the 1st place). I have decided to respond to this letter informing him where and who to contact in order to pick up the car and it's contents. I will also state that I am no longer with the company and have no more responsibility for the car/contents. FWIW, my former boss has contacted the person I left the keys/car with and stated he will make arraignments to pick it up next Tuesday/Wednesday, October 23rd or 24th. So where do I stand regarding responsibility for this car?
TIA, Stu
