"Furloughs" and "layoffs" are sometimes said interchangeably, but there is a difference with legal implications. If your furloughs really amount to terminations or if you placed employees on leave indefinitely, you may have legal compliance obligations.
Your verbal and written communication during the furlough period has kept you and your employees connected. Now that you are recalling employees, ensure that you don't miss any critical steps for their transition back to work. Your documentation and clear communication will minimize anxiety and provide a positive back to work experience!
