On March 9, 2025 I was temporally laid off for up to 35 weeks with continuation of my benefits. They also allowed me to keep their MAC laptop in the interim.
I am hoping i get recalled to my old position, but of course need to look for other employment in the interim as i understand this lay-off could become permanent if i'm not recalled within the 35 weeks.
I am interviewing this week for new a 6-month contract, which does not include benefits.
Do i need to notify my Employer?
I am hoping i don't need to advise my Employee since this is a contract position so i can still be recalled to my old position and maintain my benefits in the interim.
I would appreciate your legal opinion and guidance on how I should write any such notice if that is your recommendation.
If you are intending on returning to your employer rather than pursuing severance, it may make good sense to notify your employer of any temporary employment you accept in the interim.
