I would like to know if my workplace is slow and tells me that there’s no work for 2 weeks, while everyone else is working. I have worked for this company for 33 years

My name is David Vaughan and I'm an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin. If you have been laid off, you can treat this as a constructive dismissal and pursue severance pay (assuming you have not been laid off in the past and your contract does not contain a lay-off clause that is enforceable). I recommend you contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail and determine if we can assist you obtain severance pay.
