Therefore, they're still paying.

You should look into labor law if you have anyone under you. Quickly.

Haven't heard of any wrongful termination lawsuits because of the election, I'm sure they'll turn up sooner or later. Although, wrongful termination lawsuits are usually kept VERY quiet due to privacy of both parties concerns.
What's FUTA?

So the companies pay FUTA and unemployment tax if someone gets laid off, but not if they get fired?

I have several people who report to me. But I don't need to know about such things, that's why we have an HR department at my company.
