Company laid me off to avoid firing me without cause to avoid severance pay after 13 years
How do I recover my severance pay after being denied several requests

Thank you for your question. Generally speaking, a temporary layoff cannot be used to avoid severance pay unless you specifically agreed in writing to a temporary layoff beforehand. As such, you very likely have the right to treat this as a termination and obtain compensation for severance.
