RYP Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hello, Last month the company I was at fired 70% of its employees with a 20-hour notice. Some of us had H-1B visas and are currently in the so-called 60-day grace period. Even though we are not eligible for unemployment, I have read that California laws require employers to provide a severance package to H-1B employee after a mass layoff. Is this correct? Thanks Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 That depends on the size of the company. Quote Link to comment
RYP Posted January 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thanks for your response. Can you please be more specific? For what size of the company are they allowed to provide such severance package? Also, do you happen to know which US law states this? Quote Link to comment
