How much notice is required prior to a Civil Service employee layoff?
Civil Service Rule 250.110 states that a status employee shall receive a written notice, at least 30 calendar days in advance of the effective date of layoff, when such layoff exceeds 30 consecutive work days; however, the effective date of layoff may be extended up to 15 days without the requirement of further notice. This Rule also implies that there is no minimum notification timeframe for layoffs of 30 days or less. However, in layoff situations of 30 days or less, employers are encouraged to provide notification as soon as possible.
