Thread regarding Optum layoffs

@a3 that doesn’t sound right. I suggest asking hr how they got that number. The severence page spells it out quite clearly. The only thing I can think of is - was there a gap in your employment with them?

I also believe the person didn't have 16 consecutive years, but only they can confirm. PTO is based on total years served, but severance is by last hire date.

@a3 Interesting. Benefits published on SPARK and what was given to one of the people cut today state 16 year employees from grades 20-26 get 16 WEEKS or 8 pay periods and grades 17-28 get 18 weeks (9 paychecks).

@a9 right, they go by rehire date. That happened to me

@a3 I bet that person had been laid off previously, received a severance, and then rehired. They would still have the 16 year tenure but not when it comes to severance.

It depends on pay grade and years of service so hard to say without knowing what to compare to.
