Data Masters is considering laying off all 60 employees in the data service department at the Dundas Square location for 24 weeks and then recalling them during the busier period of the year. Tristan, the director of HR, provides a word of caution about the plan. What warning should he give? a. Seasonal layoffs are acceptable only in agriculture-related businesses. b. As long as the company can demonstrate through clear evidence that there is a financial reason for the layoff, a 24-week layoff is acceptable. c. Data Masters will have to continue the employees’ benefits if it wishes to conduct a 24-week layoff.
