I was hired full time and since been layed off (with no notice) due to shortage of work, I had a surgery scheduled and they layed me off, either due to that or the fact I questioned many of the company safety practices. Either way it has now been approx 11 weeks and I think they have no plans of rehiring me. they have not paid me any termination pay either

Thank you for contacting our firm.

If an employer lays off an employee but fails to recall them, it becomes a termination. The employee would then be entitled to pay in lieu of notice for the termination. The extent of the employee's entitlement would depend on a variety of factors, including whether or not there is an enforceable termination provision in a contract of employment.
