Does my employer have to tell employees the system it has used to determine who receives layoff notices? Does job tenure or seniority make a difference?
No. Unless there is an established system for reducing the workforce either in the employee manual provided to all employees, or as part of a collective bargaining agreement, the employer may select employees to be terminated according to its business needs, though it may not discriminate on the basis of sex, age (40 and over), color, religion, national origin, or disability.
