Firstly because I don't have a present employer, I left my old job to move to Rome. Secondly I don't know what return rights mean. Could somebody please tell me please? I'm French by the way, hence my understanding problems. Thank you. Vincent.
To me, "return rights" sounds like a right to return to one's old job if the new one doesn't work out. This "right" does not exist in the US, if I am correct about the meaning.
