Does anyone know if you are able to accept another position with another company while still collecting severance with Pearson.

Severance is direct deposit every two weeks just like your pay check.

How is severance paid out? Do they mail a check or direct deposit? Anyone know?

There's nothing in my severance letter that says I can't. After years of no bonuses and no raises, I think they owe me the money.

Go for it. They have far bigger issues to worry about and I was told off the record by HR that they have no way to know if you're working somewhere else. The letter says you're not supposed to but who gives a crap? They didn't even off board me so I walked away with company assets and their AMEX.

It's Pearson. You won't get caught. I collected 2 paychecks last year for 8 months. It was glorious.

Just keep it off social media until severance runs out.

Not supposed to, per severance letter, but I'm sure they don't police.
