Employer Marked Me As Having Resigned After I Refused A Permanent Transfer To A Different City. Illinois

Location: IllinoisI have worked for the same medical supply company for almost four years. My position has always been based at one warehouse about twenty minutes from my home.Last week, HR told me that my role was being transferred to another facility nearly 90 miles away. They wanted me to start there this Monday with the same hours and pay. Remote work is not possible, and the commute would add about three hours to my day.I explained that I could not accept the transfer and asked whether there were any openings at my current location. HR said there were none, but I could keep working my normal shifts until Friday while they “processed everything.”On Friday, my manager gave me a form stating that I was voluntarily resigning because I rejected the new work location. I refused to sign it because I never said I wanted to quit. I was then told not to return on Monday.This morning I recieved an email saying my resignation had been accepted and that I was not eligible for severance. My employee account also shows “voluntary separation.”I saved the emails and took a photo of the unsigned form. The original offer letter lists my current city as my work location, but it does not say the company can never transfer me.Can they legally classify this as a resignation when I did not quit? Should I apply for unemployment as terminated, and what documents would be most importent if the company disputes it?
