Your supervisor will meet with you individually to inform you of the layoff decision and why the layoff was necessary. He or she will describe the assistance available to you in understanding the impact on your benefits, and your job search. Your supervisor will also schedule an appointment with Employment Services, where you will be provided with more detailed information about your rights regarding notice. You may also be invited to additional meetings, which may include representatives from your bargaining unit.
Your department may also organize information sessions with representatives from campus support units, including Benefits, Employee Assistance, and Employee Relations.
Before the effective date of your layoff, you will receive a written layoff notice from your supervisor. If you are in a bargaining unit, your union will receive notice at the same time.
