What is the meaning of the term "laid off" in the non-union setting?

New Brunswick, Canada


The following excerpt is from Small v. New Brunswick Liquor Corporation, 2012 NBCA 53 (CanLII):

The adjudicator’s finding that the term “laid off” must be interpreted to mean “dismissals without cause” would force any disinterested observer to question the case law which the adjudicator relied on to sustain his understanding that the concept of a layoff in the non-union setting has no technical meaning. While it is true the application judge in Girling v. Crown Cork stated as much, the observations were made in a factual context which requires elaboration.
