Experiencing A Layoff - 13th August 2020 - OklahomaWorks
                     Experiencing A Layoff? 
We Are Ready to Help
What Is a Layoff?
A layoff describes the act of an employer 
suspending or terminating a worker, either 
temporarily or permanently, for reasons other than 
an employee's actual performance. A layoff is not 
the same thing as an outright firing, which may 
result from worker inefficiency, malfeasance, or 
breach of duty.
How We Can Help?
Oklahoma Works provides rapid response 
layoff services to people who find 
themselves out of a job due to layoffs, 
reductions-in-force or voluntary buyouts. 
We have teams of seasoned professionals 
across the state prepared to help you 
transition to your next job. 
Our Rapid Response Workshops Covers
• Tips for finding your next job
• Programs and Resources available at your local Oklahoma Works 
Center

Our Goal
A layoff is difficult for everyone. The Rapid 
Response program provides a variety of free 
services to employers and their employees when 
it becomes necessary to downsize. Our goal is to 
help workers transition from notification of layoff 
to re-employment as quickly as possible.
