For any of the PBEs that were laid off yesterday, can you share what your pay out is, if any at all? I believe staff is given severance and WARN if they qualify, but I am curious to know if non-renewed contracts are a potential loophole that they are taking to not pay out these employees.

Pbe never get severance because you are not staff. We are entitled to unemployment though.
PBEs get nothing by design, that's the whole point unfortunately.
Looks like paramount misclassified many people as contractors. There’s a class action lawsuit brewing
Severance and WARN only apply if you are directly employed by Paramount.
I am a 3 year PBE with cast & crew and was told by manager there is nothing at all for me. Not surprised by the way this is going but feels completely terrible.
