Question is....can i be laid off with no notice or pay in lieu of.....and 2nd is...can they lay us off and then immediately hire another crew/sub to a crew?

Thank you for reaching out to our firm.

We are sorry to hear that you have been let go. It is very likely that you are owed notice or severance. How much will depend on several factors and we would need more information from you. With respect to your second question, yes, unfortunately, an employer can hire replacement employees after laying off others.
