6.7 Does my employer have to give me notice if I am laid off?

You should receive notice if you are going to be laid off for six (6) months or longer.

Your employer must pay you if you were laid off without notice because:

• your employer did not know how long you were going to be laid off; or
• the lay-off was supposed to be less than six (6) months;

  and

• your employer does not call you back to work after six months.

You should be paid for the number of days notice you should have received. For example, you have worked for two (2) years. You should receive two (2) weeks salary because you should have been given two (2) weeks notice before the lay-off.
