HR Policies & Procedures

Layoff and Recall Policy

Policies on layoff and recall traditionally have been associated with cyclical industries, union settings, and “blue-collar” employees. In recent years, however, factors such as deregulation, new technologies, the emergence of a global economy, and the use of outsourcing and employee contracting have dramatically changed the structure and composition of the workplace. As a result, layoff and recall policies are needed that include employees at all levels and in industries where layoffs formerly have been rare.
 
This policy provides information regarding selection for layoff, mass layoff and the WARN Act, and recall requirements.
 
Topics in this policy include:
 
· Need for a Layoff and Recall Policy
· Alternatives to Layoffs
· Documenting Layoff Decisions
· Pre-Layoff Communications
· Employment-At-Will and Layoffs
· Temporary and Part-Time Employees
