Hello Redacted,
Please see details below as reviewed in your PDS conversation with your supervisor.
Date of Conversation: Redacted
Date Waiver and Release Sent: Redacted
MLRP Options Available:: PIP/PIL
Due Dates for Option Election Form / Waiver & Release (if applicable):: 8/redacted/2021
PIL Period (if PIL option is selected): 3 months
Outplacement Services Benefit length (If PIL option is selected)::3 months
Case Manager: :Redacted
Below are details on all MLRP Options. You will need to refer to above to know which are available to you. Please access goto/optionelection to make your election. This is a required action even if you only have one option available to you. You will only need to execute the Waiver & Release (forthcoming in DocuSign) if you select the PIL option.
PIP Option (Performance Improvement Plan) – DEFAULT OPTION IF NO OTHER IS SELECTED
3-month PIP (EMPT) or 2-month PIP (OCA) to include regular performance progress reviews with my supervisor. If it is determined, in the Company’s sole discretion, that my performance is not improving or has not improved to a level to be competitive with my peers on a sustained basis at any time during the PIP process, then my employment will be terminated without any of the separation benefits available under Option #B.
PIL (Pay in Lieu) with Outplacement Services
After I select this option, my supervisor will inform me of a date that I will be relieved of all duties, but not to exceed 5 business days from the date of my selection. After being relieved of my duties, I will no longer be required to report to the office and will turn in all Company property/assets in my possession or control.
For 3 months (EMPT) / 2 months (OCA) after the date on which I am relieved of all duties (“PIL Period”), to support my efforts to seek new employment, I will continue to receive my base rate of pay and benefits in accordance with all benefit plan terms, and I will be eligible to receive Right Management outplacement services at a cost and scope determined by the Company in its sole discretion. At the end of the PIL Period, I will voluntarily resign from my employment with the Company and my employment will cease. Disability will not extend my resignation. The continuation of my base rate of pay and benefits and the availability of outplacement services in support of finding new employment will be conditioned on my signing and not revoking a “Separation Agreement and Waiver and Release” waiving and releasing any and all claims I may have against the Company as of the date that I sign the Separation Agreement and Waiver and Release. On the communication date listed in my employee-specific personalized email, I received a copy of the Separation Agreement and Waiver and Release.
Elect to Retire
If I am eligible to retire in accordance with existing Company requirements for that status, I may give written notice of my decision to retire effective on a date of my choosing, with such retirement effective date being no later than December 1, 2021. If I choose this option, I must continue to report to work until my retirement effective date selected below and my employment will cease on my retirement effective date without any of the separation benefits available under Option #B. For business planning and staffing decision purposes, the Company needs to be able to rely upon my choice of options and I may not be able to change my decision after the decision window and accompanying revocation period referenced in the personalized email.
If I am retirement eligible in accordance with existing Company requirements and select this option, then I will resign with retiree status. My Benefit Commencement Date (BCD) will be selected separately as a part of typical retirement process.
Note, your retirement effective date is the calendar day AFTER your last day on payroll. Please also note that your retirement effective date is not an indication of your Benefits Commencement Date (BCD). BCD will need to be selected through the typical retirement process.
For Employees Age 40 and Older By Year End:
In the event you select Option 2 (PIL), in order to receive the separation benefits, you must execute and not revoke the attached Separation Agreement and Waiver and Release (“Waiver & Release”).
Please note the Company hereby advises you in writing to consult with an attorney of your choosing regarding these documents before you sign the Waiver & Release. You have a full twenty-one (21) calendar days to review these documents, and seven (7) calendar days after you sign the Waiver & Release to revoke (cancel). Hence, in order to receive the separation benefits, the Waiver & Release is due back to the Company no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days.
