How is an offer made? Do you interview or does a hiring manager pull your resume out of a hat?
2021 severance works like this. Once you are notifed (pink slip) they will place you in the Talent Marketplace. If after 90 days you are not hired internally (and you don't turn down any offers), you will receive your due severance. Note, those 90 days while in the Talent MarketPlace is not considered, nor does it count, towards your severance. Whatever you get paid during those 90 days, is considered your regular pay. If, however, you are offered a job in the Talent MarketPlace and turn it down, and the 90 days has passed, you will not receive your FULL severance due. Whether they give you any severance at that, I do not know.
I don't think they every often you the option of taking a lump sum payment.
They usually send you a weekly or biweekly check.
Doing a lump sum option would be too costly for them to due.
They took away the 10 weeks
They changed it in late 2019. They either reduced or took away the lump sum. It's still 1 or 2 weeks pay/year worked depending on your title.
This is how they did it when I was laid off 8 years ago, so things may have changed.
1st everyone receives the standard 10 weeks .
Now according to your job title and duties they give most workers 2 weeks for every year you worked for the company.
Very high level Mgmt receives 3 weeks for ever year they worked for the company
But remember severance it not required by law, it is a choice by the company
