5 Questions To Ask Your Employer If You Get Laid Off

Layoffs can happen to anyone at anytime, and there is a decent chance you will be laid off at some point in your career.

If you’ve never experienced a lay off, consider yourself lucky. For those of us who have been laid off, we know how much it stinks. It affects everything from your mental health to your financial security to your career success. Whether you saw the lay off coming or you were completely blindsided by it, the whole experience is never fun.

However, just because you were laid off, doesn’t mean you don’t have any control of the situation. This is your career and you deserve to set yourself up for future success.

If you’ve been laid off recently, or think there is a chance you may be getting let go in the future, there are some things you should consider before looking for your next job.

If you can, you should have a meeting with your employer to ask these five questions after you’ve been laid off:

1. When will I receive my last paycheck & how will I get it?

2. Will I get paid for any outstanding vacation or personal time?

3. How long will my medical benefits last?

4. Am I eligible for rehire?

5. Will I receive outplacement services to help with my job search?

To learn why we suggest you ask these questions, continue reading the full article.

Here’s what’s going on in the news (related to careers of course):

• Is a 4 day work week feasible?

• Rivian employees were told they would have to wait overnight to hear if they were being laid off.

• Ford avoids a strike at a plant in Kentucky, comes to a labor deal with UAW.
