Offered VERP and took it, after checking with HR. They said if I were to get laid off, I would get NO benefits (Severence and other perks). So I took the VERP. It was a decent package for sure but I was not ready to retire. I was lied to by HR. I cannot collect unemployment, were as others that did get laid off, did get severence and perks, and can collect Unemployment. SAP pulled a fast one.

if you were offered VERP and get cut, they give you that cause they don't want legal issues. all others get 2 week/yr

What is the layoff rule in California?
What is the Required Notice Under California's Mini-WARN Law? Employers covered by the mini-WARN Act must provide employees with at least 60 days notice before a layoff or plant closing. This applies to employers that have 75 or more full-time employees, and applies to layoffs of 50 or more within a 30-day period.

From people that received the severance notice, severance package is 2 weeks per year with lump sum payment for 5 months of COBRA. Last day is May 31.

In the US, VERP is 4 weeks per year + 8 months of COBRA. For the non-voluntary, it is 2 weeks per year + 6 months of COBRA.

4 weeks per year (or more!) would only be fair.

He-l, we are talking about colleagues who put in more than their fair share of effort.
