6008- Notice before shutting down contract

That's not true. They have to provide written notice to the government 60 days before layoffs that affect at least a certain number of jobs. The notice to the affected employees can be any time after that, usually you get 2 weeks notice and pay for your unused vacation time, the client company may offer something different.

Not exactly. The Federal law you are referring to is the WARN Act, and applies to plant closings and mass layoffs. Generally, a layoff involving 500 or more employees requires that the employees be given 60 days notice of an anticipated layoff.
 






I hope this is helpful. This is based off my previois experience here. I was given 2 weeks notice and therefore 2 weeks severence on 2 contracts with the q. That is exactly the same as pfizer. Been there as well. I have also been given a 6 week severance package that started the day after the conference call ending the contract. This is no different anywhere else basically. And I have been with large oharma directly and small directly as well as contract. Personally, contract was much more reliable to me. That's just my experience. Hope this helps.
