Termination
In Jamaica, employers are required to give their employees notice before they fire them. The employer must give at least two weeks notice if the person has been employed for less than five years. Those who have been employed for five to 10 years are given four weeks notice. Employees that have worked at a company for more than 10 years must receive at least six to eight weeks notice. All employees must give only two weeks notice, regardless of how long they have been working for a company.
Which leads me to believe Cop might be right. I don't think any employees were given advanced notice, and one even claimed they were never given anything in writting. Termination, then rehire is common, lets hope that is the case, and that the employees don't get screwed in the process. However, they may be hired back at a loss of benefits, so may choose not to return.
