Add Comment Question: My employer has posted a memo stating that there is a shortage of work for the coming months and there will be a lay off of 20 employees in the near future. Can this be considered notice in the case of severance? Answer: No, that is not considered valid notice. If/when your employment is terminated, you are owed full severance. At that time, it is very important that you give me a call. Lior Samfiru Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
