Facing Layoffs: What Employee Rights Should You Know About?

Need your guidance on what kind of rights employees will have in a layoff position at any organization.

Thank you.

The layoff is a temporary phenomenon, and the laid-off employees have the right to be called back to employment when the layoff is lifted. They are entitled to layoff compensation. The period of layoff is included as a period of continuous service for gratuity purposes.

During the layoff period, the employer-employee relationship continues with the laid-off employee, and they are entitled to all the benefits and services applicable to other employees.
