Guest Sandahlia Posted November 8, 2001 Posted November 8, 2001 A couple of years ago my organization laid-off several employees (not enough for WARN), these employees were offered severance pay that was substanitaly more than our severance pay policy. This year, we are again laying-off several employees, but want to only offer the terms that are stated in our severance policy. Can we do this without being held liable? By the way our organization is in Texas.
KIP KRAUS Posted November 12, 2001 Posted November 12, 2001 In the past I have had benefits attorneys advise me that when you do something within a formal severance plan that is over and above the plan requirements you essentially are amending the plan and setting a new benefit level. I certainly wouldn’t want the current laid off employees to find out about it. My advise, get legal advise.
