Layoffs

We did layoffs in March and April of this year of 25 people. We now have a need for 3-4 operators. Are we in any way obligated to hire any of these laid off employees back, vs. new applicants? I personally handled each and every person laid off and did not ever promise a recall or give them any promise of a rehire at any time. Thanks.

I would offer only 1 suggestion: Don't lose sight of the fact that you're in a fish bowl with this re-call issue. Your survivor employees will watch carefully 2/c how you handle their former co-workers. As you do to them, so you'll likely do to your current staff. The possibilities of creating a "wedge" between your current staff is pretty high right now. Unless you have extenuating circumstances to prevent the consideration of these former staff, I'd recommend the practice of the Golden Rule. Good luck........
Good Luck!
