💡 Policy Purpose

Our company aims to manage temporary layoffs transparently and fairly, ensuring employees understand the process, their rights, and the company’s obligations during economically challenging times.

📝 Policy Elements

  1. Eligibility and Scope:

  2. Notification and Duration:

    • Employees will be provided with at least 30 days’ notice prior to the effective date of a temporary layoff. The duration of the layoff will be communicated at the time of notice and will typically not exceed 90 days unless otherwise specified.

  3. Selection Criteria:

    • Employees selected for temporary layoffs will be chosen based on business needs, performance, and seniority. Efforts will be made to avoid discrimination and to ensure a fair process.

  4. Continuation of Benefits:

    • During the layoff period, employees may retain certain benefits, such as health insurance, as per the company’s health plan policies. Employees may also be eligible for unemployment benefits depending on local regulations.

  5. Recall Process:

    • Employees on temporary layoff will be recalled in the order of seniority or based on specific business needs. Failure to return to work when recalled may result in termination of employment.

🤝 Acknowledgement and Compliance
