 USCA1 Opinion 02-1695
BankBoston's predecessor, the First National Bank of Boston, adopted a Separation Pay Plan on June 15, 1996, which provided compensation for employees "whose employment is terminated as a result of work force reduction or job elimination." It did not apply to those who voluntarily left the company.
BankBoston announced that it would treat a refusal to accept a position with IBT as a "voluntary resignation" under the separation plan, thus denying the severance package to those custody employees who did not accept a job with IBT.
The BankBoston plan was determined by a formula which factored in the retiree's years of service, the five-year average compensation at time of retirement, and the retiree's Social Security primary benefit.

Indeed, Barnes was actually misled by the false identification of April 12 as the effective date and she acted quickly to change the terms of her BankBoston accounts prior to that incorrect deadline.
