Layoff resources

Going through a layoff process can be confusing, overwhelming and frightening. If you've just been notified that your department needs to lay you off, you likely have a lot of concerns and questions.

It is our goal at Michigan State University to help you through the process by offering various support services and opportunities to ask any questions you may have about the layoff process. We are committed to providing you with information, support and assistance before, during and in the months after layoff.

Contact MSU Human Resources at 517-353-4434 or SupportStaffLayoff@hr.msu.edu to schedule an appointment to discuss how the layoff impacts your employment status with the university and any continued placement rights you may have.
