The 25-Point Layoff Success Checklist You Hope to Never Need
Whether you’re getting laid off or quitting your job, this checklist and layoff story will help you make the right moves before leaving your workplace for the last time.
Warning!
Some companies are ruthless with layoffs, locking you out from their computer system and walking you to the door as soon as notification has been given. If your company has a history of that, prepare yourself in advance once you feel a layoff might be coming your way.
25 actions to achieve layoff success
1. Ask for recommendation or reference letters from ‘higher-ups’ and agree how to collect them.
2. Update your resume or CV.
3. Research your employee termination rights and what to do if they’re not respected.
4. Calculate how much money the company owes you in unpaid salary, vacation time, bonuses, etc.
5. Learn about severance pay: how much to expect, the company’s deadline for paying by law (e.g. in Israel, within 30 days of dismissal) and what you need to do to collect it.
6. List the documentation that the company is required to give for e.g. unemployment benefits, income tax, joining another employer, etc., such as a pink slip or other end-of-work certificate.
7. Find out which documentation the company will expect you to sign before leaving.
8. Chat with an HR representative about getting your rights.
9. Ask about access to outplacement services or a parent or sister company that can take you in.
