  • It depends on the state where you live. Contact the Department of Labor.
  • it depends on the reasons
  • Usually none. Especially if you live in an 'at-will' state such as California. Employers get upset if you give less than 2 weeks' notice but they don't have to give you any. Most would consider an employee who knows they are going to be laid off a security risk - what's to stop you from deciding to go and delete a bunch of files off of the network or worse?
  • Unless you have a contract specifying otherwise, I do not believe that any warning has to be given for a layoff. You have not been fired, there simply is nothing for you to do at the job - at this time. By laying you off, your company is holding open the option of having you return to work later. If you qualify, you can apply for unemployment benefits within 2 weeks of a layoff - that is, if you are not receiving any further monies as a part of a package.
  • What industry do you work in?
  • i duno but that sucks good luck!!
  • What type of work do you do? Most of the time there doensn't have to been a set amount of time to lay anybody off, but a good employee will give you advance warning.
  • It all depends. What state are you in? How many others like you were laid off?
  • I live in Washington state. I am not sure how many people besides myself we laid off but I know there were about 3+ others. Also, they just hired another female in my department about a month ago, I have been there for about 4 years.
  • Unless you have a contract that says otherwise, no notice is required. In most states you are an at-will employee, which means you can be fired (or you can quit) at any time and for any reason. However, even in non at-will employment states, you can be laid off without notice. This is because layoffs occur out of business necessity, thus there is cause. There is one exception to this, but it only applies to large companies who do mass layoffs. You are entitled to 60 days notice if your employer has over 100 employees and one of the following applies: 1. There is a plant closing which results in an employment loss for 50 or more full-time workers at a single site of employment, 2. There is a mass layoff which results in an employment loss for at least one-third of the full-time workforce at one site of employment with a minimum of 50 workers affected. Note: In both of the above cases the plant closing or layoff must have occurred within any 30-day period or within any 90-day period when there are multiple employment losses for two or more groups of workers, where each group is less than 50 workers but when added together equal or exceed 50. 3. There is a mass layoff involving an employment loss for at least 500 full-time workers: a) within any 30-day period or, b) within any 90- day period for two or more groups or workers, each of which is less than 500 workers, but when added together equal or exceed 500.
