Should I Sign A Resignation Form That Includes A Statement That I Have No Claims Or Grounds For Claims Against My Employer?
So a little background, I am a teacher and I was in an adaptive classroom that was dangerously understaffed and was being bullied by my TA and her clique so badly I had to quit. (I am gay and she was homophobic) I had took a sign on bonus with a 2 year term. My boss at the time said they'd find me a different position if I signed their pre typed resignation form. I did it and then didn't end up taking a position for a couple months. Fast forward to now it's almost the end of the year and there was some weird stuff with my pay( they were not paying me for my experience level) . I am on an interim contract and not planning on coming back to teach but don't want to burn any bridges because in the distant future I may want to come back as a principal. They're telling me again I have to sign this same resignation form to stay in good stading with the district. It says " I wish to state that I have no claims or grounds for any claims against my employer based upon my time of employment with (district name) and am submitting this resignation of my own free will. They're pressuring me to sign it saying they can't hire someone for the position until I sign it but I just feel weird about that part. Should I just sign it and move on?
Edit: They asked me to sign it when I said I wasn't returning.
