Thread regarding Paramount Global layoffs

Final 4 week severance check is less than my usual checks

Was part of the layoff and got the minimum 4 weeks severance. My final paycheck was today but it was a few hundred short than usual. With my understanding I thought 4 weeks severance meant 2 full pay periods.

Am I misunderstanding? This is how I had it in my notes:

Separation date is 11/12 and severance kicks in 11/13.

(I get early direct deposit 1 day early)

  • Paycheck 11/5/25 - for pay period 10/20 - 11/2
  • Paycheck 11/10/25 - for pay period 11/3 - 11/16, received this one early due final paycheck local regulations
  • Paycheck 12/3/25 - for pay period 11/17 - 11/30, first 2 weeks of severance
  • Paycheck 12/17/25 today - for pay period 12/1 - 12/14, last 2 weeks of severance

@OP If your severance kicked in on a Thursday, then it would also end on a Thursday; it's not about full pay periods based on the date the company makes the payment; it's based on full weeks starting and ending on the Thursday.
