2 months of employment overlap - H1B
Dec 4, 2019

Hi all,
I am currently working for Firm A. I have been laid off, and the termination date provided is 31st March 2020. In the termination letter, the clause is if I leave Firm A before 31st March, I will not be eligible for a severance package (it is a very significant amount which I don't want to leave). I have gotten another offer from Firm B who has asked me to join on 31st Jan 2020 (that's the best they can do in terms of joining date). H1B Transfer has been initiated by Firm B.
Scenario: Is there a way that I can join Firm B on 31st Jan 2020, and be on the payroll of Firm A by taking garden leave for two months (Firm A is fine with that, they are not fine with changing termination dates). Has someone goes through this scenario earlier?
