Thread regarding Whole Foods Market Inc. layoffs

Final checks will be deposited later than first reported. (SW Region)

My (former) STL called and said that our benefits will not run out until October 31. They are making our separation effective as of October 9. This means that out final pay will not come until around October 16, but At least we can still use our insurance until October 31. I hope this is some good news for some us. Good luck to everyone.

Yes, correct. You get the full 8 weeks pay regardless of the change of separation date.

Well that f**king blows.

I got my normal paycheck.

Now i have to wait even longer?

I was told the packets were being delivered to our STORE and id get a call to come in to sign it, and everything, including my severence would be on the 9th.

Sounds like tmsl wasnt given all the information from up abovd before calling everyone who was laid off.

Also I was told benefits lasted 6 weeks, and the hra/pwa card 6 months. Just last week I got that call.

How annoying.

So, you are saying that we get the FULL 8 weeks pay (for those of us who left right away) EVEN THOUGH the separation date is pushed back to the 9th? Correct?

Just confirmed. Pto and 8 week pay will be direct deposited on the 9th. Severance will come after store receives packet and we sign, within 7 days from signing. Separation date was moved to the 9th so we can keep benefits through Oct. This doesn't change anything except us being able to use insurance through the end of the month. -SW Region.

If they changed your termination date to wed or Thursday they have to pay you less money

It's a workday glitch

8 week pay should be direct deposit on the 9th.

PTO should follow right after termination date on October 9th.

We will all be receiving a severance agreement and papers via mail. Sign and return. Once they receive your signed papers it will take 7 days to get pay.

Discount card (not that you want to

Go spend money at WFM) is good until the 9th. And yes, October 31st for insurance.

My PBS talked to me Friday and told me the same thing. I feel bad for her. Her position was cut too and she is having to deal with the heartbreak of all this while she is looking for another position as well. She cares more than the TMSL does. I almost feel worse for her, she is the sweetest lady.
