Did anyone receive a lesser amount that what you were told that you were going to receive for your severance. My payment was $440 less than what i was expecting to received

So that one week of pay was paid out? I am sorry but I am still confused. Was this adjustment even necessary?
No money was withheld. The payroll payment schedule was just adjusted to be more logically in line. We all got paid correctly. This was clearly explained on the fancy little chart provided on the employee home page. Allstate has a long rap sheet of shady and downright immoral acts and behaviors but no one lost out on any money with that another example of poorly handled corporate mumbo jumbo.
I left Allstate to head to another insurance company. I got my final pay which was 6 days and 2 pto days. I noticed that I did not get the one week of pay that payroll withheld from all us. I remember that their reason was to catch up with payroll for the new year. Has anyone experienced this? I remember that hr stated if an employee is terminated or leaves the company, they will release the 1 wk of pay that was withheld back to you. I contacted hr and they claim that they have already paid out last year which to me makes no sense.
I had $4,0000 deducted from mine. This is ridiculous.
My issue is the initial pre tax amount of severance mysteriously went down almost $800 from our initial paperwork and the pre tax amount on the final package document to esign. Talked to three people in HR and was told my initial documentation was just an estimate and the pre tax amount on the document to be esigned is the actual amount and since I signed it I accepted it. Guess they got me there. One of those $800 downtown Chicago c—tail dinners for Tommy and the boys was on me I guess. 😔
If the inconsistent and misdirectional manner in which they have us handle claims is any indication none of this regarding how severance is reportedly handled is a surprise.
They messed all this up. From inconsistent depositing if different dates even within the same affected teams, to some of us getting 401k taken out when it shouldn't have, to not being taxed as they said. 5 of us affected compared our calculations and all were above 22% for federal and just amongst us 5 ranged from 25% to 33% for federal before FICA and state. 3 of the 5 of us had 401k deducted. And the five if us had our severance deposited on different days. Two if us deposited 28 days after our final date, one 34 days after final date, and the other two 37 days after final date. We all called HR and were told each were correct and the HR person that handled our area's RIF will not respond to ant of our emails. We are trying to give the company a chance before pursuing other options as they obviously breached the severance release agreement that both sides signed. We know severance is not always a guarantee but once both sides sign the release with the terms and details that they did not follow then it becomes a legal issue that needs addressed.
