Severance Packages, DOL, and older employees

All I have heard regarding those packages were people had a 24 hour response time or it was being withdrawn. Is that true? There are also 21 - 45 day acceptance of severance packages in the US depending on your status. Are those being violated?

This company has outsourced so many jobs to India. Are they really true employees or are they Indian owned and operated with agreements to label them as employees? Is that why it takes them weeks and months to fully terminate them or the 5 managers? The US employee numbers and the high number of Indian employees are a nudge to contact whistleblower portals in the federal government to offshore employees and save money.

For the people over 40, these RIF's are considered group layoffs. It does not matter if you were terminated in groups from the same team. We you given a list of all terminated employees, their ages, title, and any other?

Has anybody contacted DOL or any other wage and labor law representatives regarding the terminations, older people, people with disabilities, offshoring to India, and anyone else?

I would have assumed there would have been audits by now as FIS is breaking up the terminations to bypass federal and public reporting by now but have not heard of any.

@qb bulk payment. It’s 2 weeks per year of service. I had up to the max of 52 weeks. So they paid me for an entire year with nothing in return to FIS. Unless the benefits cost was worth it? And I had received a pay increase above the average maybe 6 months prior because my output and knowledge was critical for the organization. Make it make sense.

@bb is it 2 wks for every year up to 52 weeks max? Are they paying lump sum or bi-monthly like our current pay schedule? How about health insurance are they ending it immediately or after 3 months? Thanks for your help.

I was laid off back in December and they were paying 2 weeks for every completed year of service.

@OP not a lawyer, don't play one on TV, however, it will depend on the state or country in which you live. Using California as an example, there is a minimum of five days to review an offer. If over forty, there is a minimum of twenty-one days with forty-five days for group layoffs. Do not rely on rumors to make this important decisions if you have been impacted. Please consult at attorney to determine what is in YOUR best interest. That being said, can anyone share what the severance packages look like? Obviously, it will be contingent on years of service, job classification, etc. If anyone can share, that would be helpful.
