Layoffs and severance

gepp

A healthcare employer in the Southeast with over 1000 employees is making reductions in force slowly, 2-3 employees at a time. Many of the employees have 10 or more years of experience. It does not have a written severance policy. Does anyone know of a good source for determining industry standards? Any prevailing guidelines?

I do not know what the industry standards would be, but in terms of prevailing guidelines I would just make sure I'm in compliance with the WARN Act or any state-level variants.

The might want to develop a policy. .we a week pay for every two years of service in exchagne for a general release.
