Executive summary
Two days ago we held a meeting where we decided that 11 percent of our workers, which means 6000 employees, are going to lose their jobs gradually over the next five months due to the fact that we have had a big drop in our orders over the last few years. We are doing our best to re-locate those employees.
Introduction
This report is being made to make sure that we do our best to ensure the continuation of our other plants so the same doesn’t happen to them. Employees with 10 years or more of seniority will be send to our other locations and the rest will receive a money compensation depending on how long they have been with us.
Findings
Here are both detailed solutions that we have found:
- Our older workers, which represent approximately 3 % of the 6000 that are going to lose their jobs, will be relocated to our exterior plants either inside the province or outside of it. We will also give those same employees the choice to leave Canada and continue to work for us in another country. All plants directors will do their best to integrate the new employees and will see if they can do the same work in their new building.

- The rest of the workers will receive a cash compensation about a month after their last paycheck. The numbers on the check will depend on how long the person has been working for the company and will be based on a pre-determined percentage which is different in all domains. A man or a woman making $ 40 000 will receive between $ 15 000 & $20 000 depending on what he was doing on a daily basis.
Conclusion
We know people are going to be disappointed and some of them are going to be real mad but we are doing the best we can in the situation that we are in.
Recommendation
The next meeting will be the last one before the big announcement to the targeted staff. The best we could do until then is to get information from plant directors on their jobs posted so we’ll be able to give everyone the most information on where they could be transfer.
