Add Comment Question: On temporary lay off. Employer says they will find a position within the company for me. Are they obligated to find a match to my old position with same salary, bonus, perks and benefits? Or am I to take what ever position they offer me. Answer: If you are on a layoff pursuant to the Employment Standards Act, your employer has to recall you to work in your same position within 13 or 35 weeks, depending on the circumstances. In addition, your employer may not have had the legal right to put you on a temporary layoff in the first place, and you may be entitled to treat the layoff as a constructive dismissal and pursue termination entitlements.
