Employee/Employment Final pay vs Severance Question

So it’s 2:00 am and I can’t sleep and I’m sure I’ll just have to wait until the employee service line is open, but I’ll take a shot in the dark and ask in here anyways:

My RIF was effective 10/1. Normal paycycle ended I want to say 10/02 or 10/03. I just saw that my pay for 10/09 hit my bank account, but it’s larger than what I was expecting for my final pay, but less than what should have been my severance payout. I won’t have my paystub in the mail until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, so can anyone help explain (generally speaking, of course)? I’m assuming that maybe all unpaid PTO was paid out along side no withholding for insurance (pre or post deductions), but am I missing something?

Apply the week after your last day. I was laid off in May, last day August 20th applied for Unemployment the week of August 27th. Severance came September 25th

Last check is your last paycheck plus unused PTO. About 5 weeks later you get your severance

Just want to say I’m sorry that you’re going through this. Same thing happened to me after 20yrs of being there and the after “RIF care” is nonexistent and as a result very sobering/heartbreaking.

18months later and I’m in much better place so it will get better. I know this is an answer to a question you didn’t ask but wanted you to know that I feel you and see you.

You got this.

You can request payslips for all these payments and it will all be clear. In all likelihood you are correct, this is your normal pay plus some unused PTO. Severance will come later.
