Common questions
What should I do first after a layoff?
Read what you are given before signing, ask about final pay, benefits and health cover, and save copies of important documents. Then give yourself a day to breathe.
Should I apply for unemployment right away?
Rules and deadlines differ by place, so check with your local agency soon rather than later.
Is this legal or financial advice?
No. For severance, contracts or benefits questions, speak to an employment lawyer or advisor.
