Career Protection, –.There are many terms for it: downsizing, re-shifting focus, termination, getting sacked. The fact is that layoffs are a common occurrence particularly during a shaky economy. Employees who have been laid off may have a wide variety of emotions when they are called into human resources and told their services are no longer required. When layoffs occur, there are things that every employee should know before they take their final paycheck and leave the premises.
Career Protection Services offers counseling and advice to employees who have been laid off and has a staff of human resources and legal experts who can advise you on what your rights are and can help negotiate a fair severance package that is right for you.
When there are layoffs, there is a stream of paperwork that is often thrust in front of you, including a severance agreement that human resources will pressure you to sign right then and there. You don’t have to do it. It is better to have a professional at Career Protection Services review the severance package to see if it is fair and if it includes such things as extension of benefits, insurance and anything you may be entitled to under the law and your original employment contract.
If you are one of the unfortunates who have been subject to layoffs, before you sign anything or speak to anyone in human resources, speak to a professional at Career Protection. They can give you advice on what to ask for and what to skip and what you should say and what you should not. They offer you an advantage in employment negotiations for one flat fee. It’s best if you have an expert on your side.
