Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
Georgia-Layoff
I was laid off of work on the morning
of October 2, 2008 shortly after I had
the office up and running for the
morning. I received my single page
notification and my layoff was
immediate. This company employs
over 2000 employees across the
southern regions and laid off 500
employs that morning. I had almost
14 years with this company and as of
October 2nd have no health
insurance or any benefits. Have been
diligently looking for a job but
nothing so far. Do I have any legal
rights due to the no warning?

Re: Georgia-Layoff
Yes, there may have been a violation of law when no warnings were given to the laid off EE's. However, the law governing this is very site and fact specific. You should consult with a knowledgeable employment lawyer like myself to see if you have a case that could be pursued.
