Thread regarding Cox Automotive layoffs

Was anyones furlough extended?

Did anyone have their furlough extended? Was to be up to 16 weeks. But wondering how it works if you received 30 day lay off notice, but the 30 days is after the the end of furlough. Do you get paid those last days/weeks between furlough 16 weeks and effective lay off date then?

Was everyones lay off effective after 30 days?

The best part of this persons responses is they are actually really accurate and sounds very informed. in contrast, most of your posts, end up getting deleted. So who's worthless?

I wish people who actually have answers and actually went through the process would answer. Stop hijacking threads with rambling incoherent paragraphs about your feelings, mr SCUM.

Furlough was to be 16 weeks in length (max). There was no notice of any extension. That puts the furlough end date at Sept 6th(Sunday) or 7th(Monday), however Monday was a holiday. Labor Day (how ironic?) So first day back should have been Sept 8th, if you were kept out the entire 16 weeks. However, a lot of people notified about their job being eliminated or being laid off had an effective date of September 18th. Which means the time period between Sept 8th-18th should have been brought back to work for those 2 weeks and paid, if the furlough was not extended. To my knowledge people were not brought back in that time period, so may have a case there to go after them for some questionable tactics. Unless of course you signed your agreement, which would eliminate any ability to sue them. Make no mistake, they are as shady as it gets, they knew exactly what they were doing. Since this was all supposed to happen in Q1-Q2 anyway, the transition pay is your pay you would have gotten anyway, so they took advantage of the pandemic, delayed their planned restructure but had excuse to not pay those people for 16 weeks. Merit increases were delayed until April, odd? Thats about the time the whole restructure would have happened with out covid. These people are lowest of the low and they'll all get what's coming to them eventually. Be glad your away from this sh–show.

no, if they gave you a warning that your job was going to be eliminated during time of mass layoffs, they should have reinstated and paid you for the time between furlough and your layoff date. It's a law. They may have taken advantage of some of the loosening of the Warn Act due to Covid –but that "loosening" or in some states "suspending" of the Warn Act was intended to help companies that were literally about to go under and didn't have the means to pay employees for another 60 days. Cox has the $$. That's BS.

That's the Warn Act which means Warn pay. It's a law. to allow people about to be laid off to prepare and retrain. A lawyer should be able to answer that for free. Good luck!!!!

My manager contacted me last week and my last day is considered to be Sept. 19. That's the end of the Furlough. You still collect Unemployment as usual. Nothing is different - you're just told you're job is eliminated and you are now laid off.
