What happens if employer does not contact me after a certain time of being laid off.

If you have never been placed on a layoff before, you actually could be entitled to severance immediately upon being laid off. On the other hand, if you have consented to the layoff, have been laid off in the past, or have a contract allowing for layoffs, then you are entitled to severance pay if your layoff has lasted longer than 13 weeks (if your benefits were not continued) or 35 weeks (if benefits were continued). Please contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail and determine if we can assist you obtain severance pay.
