“Having your position eliminated is different than being terminated for cause because it has nothing to do with work performance. That said, being told your position is being eliminated is still difficult,” Torgerson said. “It’s important to know your rights and what you are entitled to as part of a position elimination so you don’t miss out on money or benefits simply because you didn’t know to ask for them.”

Your GSU staff reps will walk you through the position elimination process, answer any questions you have and address any concerns that arise.
