Layoffs are defined as involuntary employee separations or reduction of employees' hours. Layoffs may be necessary for reasons such as elimination or reduction of funds, reduction in the workload, and/or reorganization. The Nebraska Supreme Court decides when a layoff plan is necessary and directs the Administrative Office to develop such a plan. 

   Layoff plans shall provide as much notice as possible but at least a 15 workday written notice to employees to be laid off.
