Am I Entitled to Transition Compensation? There is no doubt that the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic has hit virtually every part of the world. Between December and now, the novel virus has caused businesses, hotels, restaurants, manufacturing plants, schools, and more to shut doors. Some common practices that many employers are adopting in a bid to stay afloat include reduction-in-force (RIF’s), lay-offs, and furloughs.
