Severance pay after declining relocation of current job?
There is a good possibility that my employer (a major regional bank) will close our local office in a reorganization and ask me to relocate my current job to a bank office in another state. I do not have an employment contract.
If I do not want to move and decline the relocation offer, will I still be eligible to receive severance pay? In other words, if I decline the move, will my employment termination be considered a "layoff", or be construed as voluntary termination (i.e. quitting)?
Thank you.

You need to ask your HR office. If there is a basis to question the legality of what you are told, you need to obtain a consultation with a lawyer and give him/her all the facts.
