CIP is not a part of the Severance Package. IPF rating can be generally expected to be defaulted to a “1” for those receiving severance pay. Per ROM FAQ:
Per the CIP award guidelines, employees who have been involuntarily terminated due to reasons other than poor work performance or cause will receive a pro-rated CIP. This includes those who have been deemed “Left Standing” through the ROM process. Please refer to the guidelines for more information: http://hr.chevron.com/northamerica/us/payprograms/cip/receiving.asp
Since you do not have access to the HR website with CIP summary, I have copied & pasted for your convenience General Payroll Eligibility Requirements:
You will be eligible for consideration for a CIP award if you meet the following criteria:
· If you terminate prior to this time, you may still be considered for a CIP award if you meet both of the following criteria:
o You terminate for an eligible reason (as described in eligible termination reasons section below).
Note: Nothing in any of the above precludes management, in its sole discretion, to set IPFs to determine awards deemed appropriate.
Eligible termination reasons and eligibility for consideration for a prorated CIP award
You will still be considered for an award (based on your eligible earnings for the portion of the year worked) if you have terminated employment after the end of the first quarter of 2015 due to one of the following eligible termination reasons. (If the eligible termination is effective during the performance year, then the award will be prorated):
· Receipt of severance pay or a voluntary or involuntary termination pension enhancement.
For any of these eligible termination reasons, your prorated award will be based on your regular earnings paid during the performance year.
How Payouts are Paid
U.S.-CIP awards for the 2015 performance year will be paid as part of the regular payroll as soon as practicable in March 2016 after the corporate rating, Award Unit ratings and Individual Performance Factors for IPF-eligible employees have been determined. U.S.-CIP awards are determined on the basis of your Award Unit and Pay Scale Group (PSG) on December 31 of the performance year.
