At the following website: https://pppm-int.llnl.gov/k_separations.htm
The document contains:
- Layoff (to be rewritten by April 2008)III.1 Layoff for 200-Series Employees III.1.4
- Notice of Layoff to Employees
- In the event of a layoff, Human Resources shall prepare written notification to be given to the employee.
The minimum notice period will be based on the employee's seniority as follows:
- An employee with fewer than ten years of seniority shall receive thirty (30) calendar days' notice.
- An employee with at least ten but fewer than fifteen years of seniority shall receive sixty (60) calendar days' notice.
- An employee with at least fifteen but fewer than twenty years of seniority shall receive ninety (90) calendar days' notice.
- An employee with twenty years or more of seniority shall receive one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days' notice.
- The employee will receive pay in lieu of notice for each additional day he/she would have been on pay status if the required notice has been given.
NOTE: Apparently this policy pertains only to the 200 series worker ?
NOTE: Apparently policy is to be rewritten by April 2008 Does anyone know?
Is "pay in lieu of notice" independent of severance pay - could a 30 year employee collect 6 months + 4 months if layed off ?Why only the 200 series? Is there an underlying legal requirement for this? Could the LLNS simply void this policy in April 2008 prior to layoffs?

"NOTE: Apparently this policy pertains only to the 200 series worker ?"
Yes ... reading further down on PPPM, there's layoff policy for non-200 series.
"NOTE: Apparently policy is to be rewritten by April 2008 Does anyone know?"
being rewritten to change out UCRP to LLNS, UC to LLNS, etc.
"Is "pay in lieu of notice" independent of severance pay - could a 30 year employee collect 6 months + 4 months if layed off ?"
Yes ... They do have the option to have you stay around for 4 months and work (garbage can still needs to be empty ... )
"Why only the 200 series? Is there an underlying legal requirement for this?"
Management makes the policy, and
this change was done a few (10-12?)years ago.
"Could the LLNS simply void this policy in April 2008 prior to layoffs?" Yes they could, but highly unlikely (they need some time to put all the pieces together ... after all, they needed 6 months[Oct-Apr] to just update UC to LLNS,etc). Don't be surprise if they cut serverance (I'm guessing Oct 1, 2008) by half ... or worst yet, eliminate all serverance pay. May not like this, but this is really a big "cost-saving" move.
Garamendi called our local SPSE UPTE office and wanted to Know if about the massive layoffs at LLNL where true, are rep informed him that NNSA had given the green Light to dump 1200 people by the end of 08. so far 500 went out the gate january another 700 are to leave by june. are rep also stated that Garamendi is concerned about LLNL's future as a national lab. I am glade some one from the governers office is questioning why the directors are geting uc benifits when the rest of us where dumped out of the system.
