#finalpaycheck

I had 8 days of carryover PTO from 2025 that I wasn’t able to use. My termination date was April 16. When I reached out to HR, I was informed that I would be paid for the unused carryover PTO since I wasn’t able to use it before the April 1 deadline due to being impacted earlier in the year.

I received a payment today that appears to include accrued PTO through my termination date, but it doesn’t seem to reflect the carryover PTO from last year.

Has anyone had a similar experience, or can confirm whether carryover PTO from the prior year is paid out in this situation?

After last day of employment after riff when should severance payment arrive?

I was rif'd in February and I noticed my paycheck was a lot hiring. Looks like they paid out PTO. Anyone else get that paid out? I didn't think they were going to pay PTO because of the new policy that came out last year. Could it be a state rule? I'm in NY.

I would like to know how soon to expect what we are owed.

If you get laid off and have accumulated unused PTO, when they give you a check for the unused PTO, are those funds considered taxable income? If so, wouldn't those funds be double taxed?

I've been asking around and stories I've been hearing about messy final paychecks make the exit process sound more stressful than it should be. I'm kind of hoping folks were exaggerating.

For those of you have been impacted, how was your final pay received?

I’m salaried and was let go on 3/19 with final date of 4/2. I received a direct deposit on 4/2 in two of my bank accts but not my 3rd acct. I expecting to get paid for 3/22-4/3 period on the next pay date of 4/10 since the last pay date was 3/27.

Have others impacted on 3/19 or previous rounds experienced this? I’m going to guess they just pay out on an off cycle for those laid off?

Friday will be my last day at Optum. I am very lucky in that this was my decision.
I'm also lucky in that I live in a state where accumulated PTO must be paid out.

If, for some reason, there are discrepancies in my final paycheck, how does an ex employee contact HR/Payroll?

For those of you who got RIF'd and then were reimbursed, supposedly in the final paycheck, for unused accrued vacation days, are all the deductions like medical and dental taken out of the pay for the unused vacation days?

1. If you haven't submitted claims against all the flex dollars, deducted from your paycheck, by your termination date, are the unused deducted dollars refunded to you? (Conversely, if you were reimbursed for more than was yet deducted from your paycheck, do you have to pay it back?)

2. When you're reimbursed for unused accrued vacation days in your final paycheck, does that include unused carryover days? If you were RIF'd in 1Q, it's quite possible you didn't use all carryover days yet. If you were RIF'd in NY in 1Q, your termination date is in 2Q. Workday drops carryover days after March 31. Your Workday balance as of the 2Q termination date does not reflect unused carryover days. If HR uses Workday to determine unused accrued vacation days as of termination date (or, if you meet rule of 60, as of December 31), then HR won't see the carryover balance.

According to the severance agreement I was supposed to get my final paycheck today but it has yet to hit my bank. Is anyone else missing their final paycheck to?

On July 31, 2025, I was contacted by my manager’s manager via Microsoft Teams for a brief meeting late in the day. During that conversation, I was informed of a workforce reduction and the company followed its standard separation process. Immediately after the call, I returned my company laptop to a colleague and my system access was concluded.

On August 7, 2025, a representative from Human Resources formally reached out to review the details of the separation, benefits, and transition process.

My official last working day with the company was November 19, 2025.

On December 2, 2025, I received my final paycheck, which included payment for all accrued and unused vacation time.

Finally, on February 7, 2026, the company issued my severance payment in accordance with the separation agreement.

Got severance last November, it said unused vacation, service pay per year, and performance based bonus payout PAYG. So far only got the first two, not PAYG. When to expect to get it? Will it be paid ? If not, where to file claim?

When you leave WF, do they pay out unused PTO and personal holidays.

Laid off on the 12th. Had the normal two weeks of PTO replenish as of the first of the year. I was told my balance would be paid out. Checked account today and the balance was recalculated and now it's zero. I'm assuming that I won't get that paid out now? Or does that mean they've already taken it out because I'm getting my last payroll check next week?

I was displaced on 10/28, got final paycheck / vacay payoff on 12/26 end of non-working. When does the first severance check deposit?

Received final paycheck as non-working employee on 12/26 that also included unpaid PTO. When will the first severance pay date be in 2026? Will it be on 1/2 or 1/16?

Was part of the layoff and got the minimum 4 weeks severance. My final paycheck was today but it was a few hundred short than usual. With my understanding I thought 4 weeks severance meant 2 full pay periods.

Am I misunderstanding? This is how I had it in my notes:

Separation date is 11/12 and severance kicks in 11/13.

(I get early direct deposit 1 day early)

• Paycheck 11/5/25 - for pay period 10/20 - 11/2
• Paycheck 11/10/25 - for pay period 11/3 - 11/16, received this one early due final paycheck local regulations
• Paycheck 12/3/25 - for pay period 11/17 - 11/30, first 2 weeks of severance
• Paycheck 12/17/25 today - for pay period 12/1 - 12/14, last 2 weeks of severance

Did you get your paycheck for this week?

I received my final paycheck but my remaining PTO wasn't included. Anyone know if that comes separately?

Well tomorrow is my final day

If anyone went thru this or is a manager who carried it out

What exactly happens ? Do we have to sign an NDA ?

Is there any time for final comments ? Has anyone worked their final day ?

Any feedback is appreciated

After reviewing my Severance agreement and release document that finally came into our portal, it shows your severance amount at the bottom of the document.

However, for me, when I compare this amount to the Severance calculation worksheet, it uses the same amount that is shown under "state mandated pay requirement" & "final pay." Instead of the pay shown in the "Total Severance Pay" line item. I am in NJ. For anyone else here, does your service release form also show this discrepancy?

Do we have any clarification as to why our severance is the lower of the two amounts shown in the calculation (which is exactly 50% of the amount)? I've sent a request for clarification to HR, though I have yet to hear back. Curious if anyone else sees this or knows why. Obviously, we would all want the higher amount, but it is confusing why they were showing us two different numbers, and then on our release, it is using the lower amount.

I can’t find info on when we will get severance check.

Do you get paid for Thanksgiving and Black Friday if you got laid off. Or you will only get paid for 40 hours this week?

Your vacation balance will be paid out the next normal paycheck after your off payroll date and the severance is above an beyond your vacation time payout and will be another payroll period after vacation is paid out at the earliest

last day of service is 2/20.

Total Pay: (lets just say 50k)
State Required Pay: 25k
Final Severance Pay: 25k

why am i only getting 25k?

I took a look at the numbers and saw there is a HUGE disparity on the amount. If they want to be honest in their dealings - pay the higher number

I see for some it's 12/19 and for others it's in February. I'm sure there are other dates in between as well.

Please share your last day worked and when your severance payment was received.

if we are the (un)fortunate, and our last day is 12/20 or 1/20 or 2/20, do we still get paid during this time? and then we get our package after? will everything be in tack as if we are still FTE?

Hey folks. Today is a sad day for the employees who are leaving the greatest company in America. I wish you all the best, and I am sure it would be difficult to find another company as employee centric as ATT. Please continue to use ATT products and services as we need OUR stock to be in the high 80's (minimum). Love ya'll.

Is it paid in a lump sum?

Have any of the folks laid off on September 3rd and covered by WARN 60 days notification period received anything today? I have been checking my email and haven't seen anything (although the final payroll payment showed on my bank account this morning).
In any case, I really appreciate all folks that have contributed to this forum. It was the first hit that showed up when I searched after being laid off, and it made me realize I wasn't alone in this new journey. I really wish the very best to all of you.

Is anyone else still waiting on their final paperwork to sign?

What's the rule???????

When are we going to receive our severance pay? They said it would be within two weeks of the exit date which was last Monday.

Anyone have knowledge on how long it’s taking for our severance to be paid out once we have signed the legal documents? I’m trying to figure out how to pay out my bills. I heard 3 months???

To those LRed, did anyone get a payment from cisco on 10/11? what was it
