I don't think you have any legal concerns with having that policy. I think you may have legal concerns when it is later enforced unequally. If you can ensure that it is enforced fairly, it's a nice thing to do for your employees. I would put a minimum service time in there.

Job preservation is going tough on small companies. From a practical standpoint, I would remove that or define it narrowly in the policy (job preservation means there will definitely be some job available but not necessarily the one vacated).

8 Weeks of Job Perservation, 2 months medical coverage at existing plan rates if on compnay insurance, pay-out on any and all vacation, personal or sick time.
