Experiencing A Layoff? We Are Ready to Help

What Is a Layoff?
A layoff describes the act of an employer
suspending or terminating a worker, either
temporarily or permanently, for reasons other
than an employee's actual performance. A layoff
is not the same thing as an outright firing,
which may result from worker inefficiency,
malfeasance, or breach of duty.
