I don't know about any legal issues as to employment as we are leaving the employment of one to go to another, and even though I don't like the idea either, I wouldn't want to pay someone for unproductive time to take a physical to be employed by another company. That being said, I think we should be paid because we did not seek out the employment but through no fault of our own, we will be switching employers. Will we get paid? Anybodies guess. But I do have a thought. Better left unsaid, to many eyes and ears.
