Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
I was called into my managers office may 6 2016 and was told I was being temp laid off and asked to sign the letter stating g so. The letter also said I was to contact them immediately if I obtained full time employment. 1st question... can they ask that or is it their way of getting g out of paying severancestors? 2nd... I don't understand the time frame of when they have to hire me back. I have looked online and it says 13 weeks in a 20 week consecutive period. I don't understand what that means. Can you clarify these for me?
Thank you for your question. In this case, we would need more information to properly answer your questions. In this case you may be able to treat the layoff as a termination and request severance from your employer. I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you are owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). I would also encourage you to call us and set up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers who will be able to fully review this matter with you.
