I would do best in an adult only home or with a family where I will have older brothers and sisters. I really love food. And toys. And bones. And people. And you know what? I like them so much that I don't want to share. This is something you and I can work on, but it's going to take some time and patience. Can't wait to meet you! Ruff!

Dear Working Wise: I was laid off from a company a few months ago and received two week of severance pay after working for them for two years. Does the company have to call me first to see if I want my job back before hiring anyone else? If so, and they have hired someone else, what are my options about getting my old job back? Signed, Eager to Work
Dear Concerned: I wish I could help you get your old job back, but it sounds like your employer has acted appropriately. There is such a thing as a “temporary layoff”, when an employer wants to maintain the employment relationship with you and call you back as soon as there is work available. But it sounds to me from your letter that your employer terminated your employment. You received severance pay, because your employer severed (terminated) your employment relationship. Employers are not required to rehire former employees first. Your employer also paid you an appropriate amount of termination pay. Anyone employed for between two and four years is entitled to a minimum of two weeks notice or two weeks of severance pay in lieu. Temporary Layoffs If your employer wanted to maintain the employment relationship—and lay you off temporarily—they would have been required to notify you in writing. Temporary layoff notices must include the effective date of the layoff and sections 62-64 of Alberta’s Employment Standards code, which govern temporary layoffs. Temporary layoffs can not last more than 59 days in duration. On the 60th consecutive day of temporary layoff, the employment relationship terminates and the employer must pay the employee termination pay on that day unless: • wages or benefits continue to be paid on behalf of the employee; or • there is a collective agreement that provides recall rights longer than the 59 days.
Should the layoff extend past the 59 days, the employment terminates, and termination pay appropriate to the length of service of the employee is required. The only exception to the 59-day period applies to school employees and school-bus drivers. Employees can be terminated while on temporary layoff, but they are entitled to termination pay. Employees on temporary layoff can be called back to work with seven days written notice. Employees who fail to return to work within seven days of receiving written notice can be terminated without termination notice or pay. The good news is that Alberta’s unemployment rate is the lowest in the country at 4.5 per cent and the number of job postings are is on the rise. You are in a better position than many job seekers, because you have two years of experience working in a job you enjoy. Drop by your nearest Alberta Works Centre for help putting your valuable experience to work. To find your nearest Alberta Works Centre, visit http://humanservices.alberta.ca/offices. If you have any more questions about your situation, call Alberta Employment Standards toll-free at 1-877-427-3731. This line is staffed by experts who can go into more detail with your case if you wish. You can also review the Employment Standards Code for yourself by visiting our web site http://humanservices.alberta.ca/es
