Over the last few years, tons of companies large and small have made cuts to their staff. But don\u2019t worry\u2014you don\u2019t have to be caught off guard.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to walk through some practical and effective ways to prepare for a layoff so you can move forward in your career after it happens. Losing your job for any reason isn\u2019t fun. But the uncertainty of it won\u2019t be so scary when you have a plan\u2014and I\u2019m here to help you press on!<\/p>\n<h2>What Does It Mean to Be Laid Off?\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Being laid off means your employer had to cut down on the number of staff members\u2014and you\u2019re included in that group. <\/strong>The harsh reality is, when the economy grinds to a halt, or a business undergoes a reorganization or simply can\u2019t meet payroll, one of the quickest ways to cut back is to cut jobs. Unfortunately, this means layoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Most businesses aren\u2019t letting people go because they want to, but because they have no other option. Getting laid off doesn\u2019t feel good, but unlike being fired, a layoff has nothing to do with <em>you<\/em> personally. It\u2019s simply a business decision, and it\u2019s one you can prepare for.<\/p>\n<h3>Layoff vs. Furlough vs. Firing: What Do They Mean?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s important to know the differences between a few types of job loss. As I mentioned, layoffs happen when a company gets rid of positions within the business or downsizes their staff, usually because of a poor economy.<\/p>\n<p><em>Furlough<\/em> means a person is still employed by a business, but they\u2019re on a temporary (and usually involuntary) unpaid leave, often because there\u2019s a shortage of work or the economy can\u2019t support their role for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>Now, being fired is a different story. When someone gets fired, that means they\u2019ve been permanently dismissed. That person\u2019s employment ended because of their poor performance, unprofessional behavior or legal issues like a breach of contract.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Causes of Layoffs<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes layoffs happen because of hard economic times or because a company goes through a major change, like being bought out or reorganized. In both situations, jobs are often cut. Here are some other common causes of layoffs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A recession:\u00a0<\/strong>When the economy tanks, businesses have to adjust their spending\u2014including payroll.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employee overlap:<\/strong>\u00a0Sometimes jobs are cut when two people are doing the work of one person.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Downsizing:<\/strong>\u00a0Maybe a business has lost clients or revenue, and there are more employees than needed for the work.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restructuring:\u00a0<\/strong>When a business reorganizes its teams, people could be laid off if their roles aren\u2019t necessary for the new teams.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A company closes:\u00a0<\/strong>When a business shuts its doors, everyone will be laid off because, well, there\u2019s no more work to be done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No matter the cause of the layoff, you have what it takes to move forward after this setback.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Prepare for a Layoff<\/h2>\n<p>If you think your company might go through a round of layoffs, there are a few things you can do to prepare for a job loss. Now, don\u2019t freak out <em>just<\/em> yet\u2014you don\u2019t know if any rumors you\u2019ve heard about layoffs are actually true. Still, it\u2019s never a bad idea to get your ducks in a row in case you do lose your job. Here are 10 steps to take to prepare for a layoff:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Start saving up an emergency fund.<\/h3>\n<p>Losing your job is a lot less stressful when you\u2019ve got an emergency fund to fall back on. If you\u2019re familiar with the Baby Steps, we recommend saving $1,000 as a starter emergency fund while you pay off debt, and then\u2014after your debt is paid off\u2014building a 3\u20136 month fully funded emergency fund for situations exactly like a job loss.<\/p>\n<p>But if you think layoffs are coming, start stacking cash <em>now<\/em>, even if you still have debt. Make minimum payments on your debts and save as much as you can. Then, when you know your job is secure, you can start back up on the Baby Steps with gazelle intensity.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Save important documents like your W-2, pay stubs and insurance information.<\/h3>\n<p>Collect these documents while you still have access to your HR files. These will be helpful if you apply for unemployment benefits later or if you lose health insurance coverage and have to switch to a temporary plan.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Schedule medical appointments as needed.<\/h3>\n<p>While you still have health insurance coverage, go ahead and take care of any doctor appointments you\u2019ve been meaning to schedule. It\u2019s possible you\u2019ll get extended health insurance coverage as part of your severance package, but go ahead and get the care you need now while you\u2019re covered. Also make sure to refill any prescriptions that are close to running out.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Start planning how you\u2019d budget severance pay.<\/h3>\n<p>You might not know exactly how much you\u2019d receive in a severance package, but you <em>can<\/em> start planning how you\u2019d budget that payout. For example, many severance packages pay one to two weeks of salary for every year employed at the company.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a strong feeling your job is on the chopping block, start planning how you\u2019d intentionally spend your severance. Severance packages aren\u2019t a permission slip to go buy a new gaming system or go on vacation\u2014they should be used to keep you afloat until you land a new job.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Clean up personal files from your computer.<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve stored any personal files like images, documents or debit card information on your work computer, now is a good time to start clearing that data. It\u2019s not a great idea to use your work computer for personal reasons anyway, as the technology belongs to the company.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Update your resum\u00e9 and contacts list.<\/h3>\n<p>While you\u2019re still employed, go ahead and make a list of your current responsibilities and any accomplishments you\u2019re proud of. Jot down the names and emails of important contacts you have good relationships with. This information will come in handy if you find yourself looking for a new job.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Gather notes about your successes in this current role.<\/h3>\n<p>Before a layoff, take note of all your professional accomplishments and successes in your current role. If you\u2019ve broken any records, outpaced sales goals, won recognition for excellent service, etc., list those accomplishments on your resum\u00e9. This will add credibility to your resum\u00e9\u2014and remind you of what a hard worker you are.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Think about your skills that you can apply to other jobs.<\/h3>\n<p>Chances are, you already have ideas about what you\u2019d like to do if you got laid off from work. Would you change industries? Stay in the same industry but try a different role? Think about all the skills you\u2019ve learned that you can apply to other jobs\u2014no matter the industry you\u2019d want to pursue in the future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>9. Start looking for other job opportunities now.<\/h3>\n<p>If you can time it right, you could start a new, <em>better-paying<\/em> job right after getting laid off from your current position. Don\u2019t wait to apply for new opportunities until after you lose your job\u2014start searching now! Get that interview ball rolling so you can transition into a new job sooner than later. That way, you won\u2019t have a big gap between paychecks, and it\u2019ll make your severance feel like a signing bonus.<\/p>\n<h3>10. Don\u2019t panic.<\/h3>\n<p>We don\u2019t make good decisions when we\u2019re panicking. You haven\u2019t been laid off yet, so you have time to make a plan. In the meantime, start having conversations with mentors or a trusted counselor who can give you support while you wait for news about your job.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Do After Being Laid Off<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve learned that you\u2019re definitely part of your company\u2019s layoffs, you\u2019re probably feeling a lot of emotions right now\u2014especially if the news comes at a bad time, like around\u00a0Christmas or before a big family vacation. That\u2019s to be expected. Whether you\u2019re\u00a0feeling scared\u00a0or angry (or both), give yourself time and space to process before you do anything rash.<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Take a deep breath.<\/h3>\n<p>Layoffs can be shocking because they\u2019re usually unexpected. Lots of leaders don\u2019t want their team members to suffer, but they turn to layoffs as a last resort to help save the company or cut costs. And the reality is, losing your job just sucks.<\/p>\n<p>So, give yourself some time to pause, process and\u00a0find perspective. This could be a chance to finally switch careers and start your dream job or go back to school to finish your degree.<\/p>\n<h3>Collect your final paycheck or severance pay.<\/h3>\n<p>Ask your employer how you\u2019ll get your final paycheck after being laid off.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Your employer might also offer you\u00a0severance pay\u00a0when they let you go. This could be a one-time payment, or it could be several payments spaced out over a few weeks or months. The Fair Labor Standards Act doesn\u2019t\u00a0<em>require<\/em>\u00a0that your employer give you severance benefits, so this will vary from company to company.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t receive a severance package, unemployment is another option that can help you stay afloat after a layoff.\u00a0You can get unemployment\u00a0insurance benefits by filing a claim with the unemployment insurance program in the state where your job was. These guidelines vary by state, so check out the U.S. Department of Labor website for more information.<\/p>\n<h3>Figure out your health insurance options.<\/h3>\n<p>If your health insurance coverage ended with your layoff, you have a few options to keep a policy.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>One of your options is COBRA insurance, which lets you stay on your employer\u2019s plan for up to 18 months. But most of the time, your former employer isn\u2019t going to pay their side of the premium, which means your monthly payments could be pretty high. You\u2019ll probably save money on a government health care plan or a private plan with a high deductible.\u00a0Find out what coverage you really need when you take the Coverage Checkup. Get your free and personalized action plan.<\/p>\n<h3>Tap into your support system.<\/h3>\n<p>When you\u2019re ready, be open with your friends and family about your job situation. You don\u2019t have to share all the details with everyone\u2014in fact, feel free to\u00a0set some boundaries\u00a0if you don\u2019t want them to pester you with questions. But acknowledge that you\u2019re facing a hard time and surround yourself with people who will support you and encourage you. You can also tap into your LinkedIn network for support.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re married, be open with your spouse. Don\u2019t let shame keep you isolated and keep them in the dark. If you have kids, talk about how the\u00a0job loss\u00a0will impact your lifestyle and the time you spend together (in an age-appropriate way). Do whatever you have to do to get the support you need.<\/p>\n<h3>Make a new budget.<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s scary to think about what will happen if you\u00a0miss a paycheck. Hopefully you have an emergency fund (3\u20136 months of living expenses saved up) to get you through the tough times. But whether you do or not, it\u2019s time to sit down and make a\u00a0zero-based budget\u00a0based on your new income level. And no, this isn\u2019t the time to make any big or unplanned purchases! So keep that new TV out of your budget.<\/p>\n<p>EveryDollar\u00a0is our budgeting app that makes it super easy to start taking control of your money (and it&#8217;s free!). Once you make a plan for your spending, it&#8217;s time to hit pause on all nonessential purchases\u2014like streaming services and gym memberships\u2014at least until your income level is back to normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Create some new daily routines.<\/h3>\n<p>Your time has been shifted around, so use it to your advantage! Your top priority is to find a new job (and we\u2019ll talk about that below). But now that you have a little more freedom, this is a good time to pick up that novel you\u2019ve been wanting to read, volunteer in your community, or spend more time walking around your neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t stop showering, waking up at a decent hour, or exercising just because you\u2019re not going in to work. Taking care of your overall health during this time is so important to stay motivated and well. (Not to mention\u2014following current events, being involved in your community, and continuing to grow personally will show your next hiring manager you used this time wisely!)<\/p>\n<h2>How to Find a Job After Being Laid Off<\/h2>\n<p>You can\u2019t live on severance pay or\u00a0unemployment benefits\u00a0for long, especially if you have a family to take care of. Here are three practical ways to get back out in the job market and look for work:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Get clear on your talents, passions and mission.<\/h3>\n<p>Okay, guys, first things first. When you\u2019re looking for a new job after being laid off, take this opportunity to really think about your next step. What were you born to do? If you\u2019re not sure, check out my\u00a0Get Clear Career Assessment. You\u2019ll take a quick assessment to understand your top talents, passions and mission. You\u2019ll also get a personal purpose statement that can help you apply your strengths to your next job.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Use your connections to move into another field.\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>If your whole industry has taken a hit this past year, it might be time to start branching out into other types of work. A more\u00a0recession-proof job\u00a0can give you the job security you&#8217;re looking for. Be willing to step outside your comfort zone and even take lower pay for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>Start your job search by making a list of people in your immediate circle who can help you get connected. Reach out and let them know about your situation. Be bold\u2014but not obnoxious\u2014as you ask about work opportunities.\u00a0<em>You never know what opportunities might be just one conversation away<\/em>. But be mindful and try not to contact someone for help at a time when they\u2019re stressed about their own work situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have any success asking your immediate circle, don\u2019t be discouraged. Often, it\u2019s not about who you know\u2014it\u2019s who\u00a0<em>they<\/em>\u00a0know. Keep digging and expanding your network. It might take a few days or weeks, but if you\u2019re persistent, you\u2019ll start to find opportunities. And as you\u00a0prepare for your interviews, make sure your\u00a0resum\u00e9\u00a0is in good shape!<\/p>\n<h3>3. Check online job boards for contract and part-time work.\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Sites like LinkedIn and Indeed update their job boards regularly with relevant and timely\u00a0work opportunities. Check in often to find opportunities that match your skill set. Also keep an eye on your favorite local businesses. They might need extra help during the holidays or tourist seasons.<\/p>\n<h2>You&#8217;ve Got This<\/h2>\n<p>Getting laid off from a job is tough. But you can use this time to your advantage if you stay calm, evaluate what it is you want to tackle next, and come up with a game plan to get back out there and start preparing for\u00a0interviews.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the end, and it won&#8217;t define you. You have what it takes. Press on!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Can I negotiate my severance package?<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes! Companies aren\u2019t obligated to offer severance pay. But you can meet with your HR director or an employment attorney to review the terms of your severance agreement\u2014this can include payout for unused vacation, health insurance coverage and any additional funds you\u2019re offered as part of the separation.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I collect unemployment benefits?<\/h3>\n<p>If you got laid off through no fault of your own and meet other eligibility requirements, you should contact your state\u2019s unemployment insurance program as soon as possible after losing your job.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n<h3>What do I do with my retirement accounts after losing my job?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been contributing to an employer-sponsored 401(k), you can leave it in the current account, roll it over into a new employer\u2019s 401(k), or roll it over into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).<\/p>\n<h3>How do keep my health insurance after getting laid off?<\/h3>\n<p>You can enroll in health insurance plans through the Health Insurance Marketplace or sign up for coverage through COBRA.<sup>3<\/sup><sup> <\/sup>But these policies will likely cost more than your employer-sponsored plan, so budget accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramseysolutions.com\/career-advice\/what-to-do-if-you-get-laid-off\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve been laid off, or if you\u2019re worried your company is about to cut jobs, you\u2019re not alone.
