WHAT IS A GOOD FAITH LAYOFF APPEAL?
This is a challenge to the good faith of a layoff by your employer. A lack of “good faith” would mean that the employer laid off or demoted an employee in lieu of (instead of) layoff for reasons other than economy, efficiency or other related reasons. In other words, if the employer laid off an employee or demoted the employee in lieu of layoff for reasons other than trying to save the agency money or streamline operations, this would be an argument that the employer did not act in good faith.
