Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I was just laid off from my job after five years with the same company. Unfortunately, the whole industry has slowed down and no one is hiring. I’m a bit shocked and not sure what to do. Signed Unsure Dear Unsure:

Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
Losing your job can be one of the most stressful life events you may ever face. Getting a pink slip doesn’t just affect your cash flow – it can affect your confidence, self-esteem and the friendships you’ve made through work.
If you feel like you’re wrestling with the emotions from losing your job, check out the Coping With Your Loss section on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) website at: alis.alberta.ca/jobloss. Emotional support is also available through the Mental Health Helpline, 1-877-303-2642 albertahealthservices.ca/mentalhealth.asp.
First, negotiate your severance and settlement. Don’t feel pressured to accept a severance or settlement package immediately. Take some time to think about the offer and don’t be afraid to negotiate. Understand your Employment Standards rights at: work.alberta.ca/es. Want legal advice? Contact the Law Society of Alberta to find a lawyer who specializes in employment law at www.lawsociety.ab.ca. Once you and your employer have agreed to a “deal,” get it in writing. Second, ask for letters of reference. Having reference letters will help when you’re looking for a new job. Third, ask for your Record of Employment. You need a Record of Employment to apply for Employment Insurance. Contact your nearest Service Canada Centre if you haven’t received your record within 14 days of your last pay from your employer. Fourth, apply for Employment Insurance (EI) online at servicecanada.gc.ca/ei or in person at your nearest Service Canada Centre. Apply for EI as soon as you stop working. You can even apply for EI before you receive your Record of Employment. Fifth, review your finances and develop a budget while you look for a new job. Ask your accountant, banker or financial adviser for advice or check out the free tips on the Money Mentors web site at: moneymentors.ca. If you don’t have a severance package, are not eligible for EI, and have no other resources (e.g., family support, investments, or savings) you can apply for Income Support assistance while you look for a new job through Alberta Works. For more information on Income Support, visit: humanservices.alberta.ca. Finally, explore your career options. Take this opportunity to think about your career. Do you want to switch industries, careers or open your own business? Free career planning services are available through: Career Information Hotline: 1-800-661-3753 ALIS Website: alis.alberta.ca. For help with your job search, visit your nearest Alberta Works Centre. There are 53 Alberta Works Centres located across the province. You can find the one nearest you at: humanservices.alberta.ca/offices. Still have questions? Read Creating a New Future: The Job-Loss Workbook. It covers everything I’ve mentioned here plus much more. You can pick up a free copy at your nearest Alberta Works Centre or get it online at: alis.alberta.ca/js/ws/jsr/jobloss. Good luck!
