Was temporary layoff for 13 weeks because of work shortage . After my 13 weeks off I was given a permanent layoff letter saying again because of a work shortage . Within a few weeks of getting that letter they hire someone else.

Hello my name is David Vaughan and I am an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. Given that the layoff has now been deemed permanent, it is a termination. While your employer is permitted to terminate your employment and hire someone else, it must provide you with severance pay. Please visit the Severance Calculator (https://www.severancepaycalculator.com/) for an estimate of your severance entitlements and contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail and determine how we can assist you obtain a fair severance package.
