Previously laid off employees, did you get a lump sum payout or salary replacement where you were paid every two weeks?

"Is the initial 60 days on payroll to avoid WARN counted as severance?
or
initial 60 days + 8 weeks + 2 weeks per year of service?"
The 60 days is in addition to severance. You do know all this is easily searchable in TNation right? Much more accurate than asking randos online.
“ Unused PTO as a lump sum.”
Anyone else having their manager recently reminding them to take their PTO? Hmmmmm

Post ID: @4ddp+1tivJq3e is incorrect.
Check severance guidelines on SharePoint..
The severance is different depending on position..
Exempt/managers/store managers
- 8 weeks salary + 2 weeks for each year of service; max 26 weeks total.
- prorate bonus, 2 months cobra, 2 months RightChoice.
Non-exempt
- 4 weeks salary + 1 week for each year of service; max 26 total.
- prorate bonus, 2 months cobra, 2 months RightChoice.
High tenure bonus
- lump sum of percentage of base pay for those over 20 years.
FYI: the old sprint severance was the exempt package for all employees..
Both.
8 weeks garden leave plus 26 weeks of pay, paid out on the regular payroll schedule.
1% for every year as a lump sum.
Unused PTO as a lump sum.
Bonus as a lump sum.
Early vesting on part of my RSU. It was around 10k worth before the reduction for taxes.
Although not a cash payout, TMO pays your COBRA payments for 2 months.
Overall, it's a generous package compared to other companies and I harbor no ill feelings towards TMO.
@1wfy+1tivJq3e also helps to avoid unemployment claims as you can't claim in most states while you have regular income coming in vs. the lump sum.
I got laid off in the August 2022 group, lump sum. Like someone else stated I think it depends on how many they are laying off.
Before the August 2023 group, payout was lump sum (smaller numbers in groups of 100 to 200). Because the August 2023 layoff was 5000, they likely switched to every 2 weeks so as not to take a huge one-time cash hit.
Paid every two weeks. Any residual PTO balance, ESPP pending balance, and pro-rated bonus are paid one after the other. Health insurance wont be taken from checks, so the extra surge in income will be unusual feeling. It will feel like a pay raise before the impending doom, but don't be tempted to spend it.
If you are expecting layoff, be sure to burn floating holidays FIRST, as those are not paid out if you do get cut.
Got paid every 2 weeks.
