Do you keep benefits on furlough?
Furloughed employees typically retain their benefits. Most notably, employees usually retain access to any health and life insurance during the furlough. A furloughed public employee retains their employment rights. Government employees cannot be fired or replaced without process.
Will I get my job back after being laid off?
There’s no guarantee you’ll get your job back, however, even if your former employer is hiring for your former position. Your employer isn’t required to hire you unless they’ve provided you a written agreement promising you’d be rehired.
Is a layoff a termination?
Even if you were told you were laid off, you might have been illegally fired. These days, however, a layoff usually refers to a permanent termination of employment. In a layoff, employees generally lose their jobs for business reasons unrelated to their performance.
Will I get redundancy pay if I get laid off?
If you’ve been laid off or put on short-time working, and then made redundant, your redundancy pay will be based on your usual weekly pay when you did your normal hours. The only time this won’t apply is if you agreed to a permanent change in the number of hours you work.
Is it legal to ask to be laid off?
The quick answer is yes, you can approach either HR or your manager about getting laid off. If you have a good relationship with your manager and she isn’t likely to fire you for asking, then go to her first. Managers generally prefer to be told things directly than to hear stuff from HR.
Do you lose seniority when laid off?
Yes. Laid off employees do not lose seniority if they have passed probation and are reinstated (see FAQ #22 above). However, you do not accrue additional seniority while you are laid off.
