If I am not mistaken, when an employer let people go they should also pay what 3 months of full paycheck? It is easier to let people go, but also expensive.
Depends on how long they have been employed. Been working 5 months, its only 1 month, 2 years and 9 months, its 3 months, and continues till you reach 6 months. But that period, you will often have to still work.. so if you are let go, with 3 months, you have to work, but can go look for other work etc. (Sometimes you dont have to work, thats up to the employer)
