I am starting a new job after my role was eliminated in August. I got the severance but I also hope that my payroll is continued :) Should I let them know? Or just enjoy getting double-paid?

@OP Have an attorney review both your employment and separation agreements. It’s entirely possible that neither agreement prohibits you from accepting and starting another job while still employed or on garden leave. If that’s the case, and there are no applicable disclosure requirements, you may have no obligation to notify HR.
Some very poor suggestions here for a good question. The answer is simple: If your on garden leave your still an employee until the termination date and NO you cannot double dip, this is a violation of your contract. You keep your severance pay but cannot keep getting paid. Send email to HR, let them know to stop your payments and benefits from your new job date.
@eb who cares if a future employer sees that? I mean, fu-k surveillance so freeze your TWN (and everything else) anyway, but do it for privacy sake, not because you're scared about being double employed.
Does Sassy G inform you everytime he dumps the stock?
Do you get a better position or total compensation in the new company?
you could decline 2026 benefits with your new employer if your termination date is in December. Freeze your "work number" employment data report so that future employers don't see you were double employed.
@ae I guess what OP was asking was if he/she should keep the paycheck during the garden leave till December 16.
First time in a RIF?
That payout from the severance agreement payoutis legally yours so bank it!
