Thanks very much for your question. Unless you have expressly consented to layoffs as a term of your employment, a layoff is a constructive dismissal entitling you to severance. Please visit www.severancepaycalculator.com to see how much you may be owed, and then it is recommended that you contact us at the number below for a consultation, at which time we can advise whether it makes sense for you to treat your layoff as a constructive dismissal.
