Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
laid off without end date
I was laid off from my job on January
30th which was a friday. I didn't
receive a letter from the company
until the following Tuesday, but it did
not specify an end date or exact
package. It is now Feb. 24th and I
still do not have an end date or a
package. I am a mother of 2 and
bread winner for my family as well as
the healthcare holder. I have no
way of planning how to take care of
my family because I need my
severance, but don't know when
things will end. The other people
around me are receiving their
packages the day before they are
asked to leave. Is this legal for the
company to string me along until
they feel they don't need me any
longer and then to give me a package
with end date a day before the end
date is?

Re: laid off without end date
Your post is too vague for an answer. You refer to a "package," but don't define what that is. You do not refer to any contracts, company policies, etc., which would give you a right to severance or benefits. There is no general right to severance, so we need to know more facts as to what, if anything, you are entitled to. You mention a "letter" but do not tell us what it says. In addition, it would be helpful to know the size of the company and, generally, about how many people are being laid off right now (without naming the company). You might want to repost with more facts, or contact an employment lawyer.
