You're the one talking about generalities. You don't know the specifics of this incident. In general, employees are at will and can be fired

Without severance. That's all dmac was telling you. Severance is not required when you terminate an employee and Disney May have fulfilled their contract. You, as in most cases, don't know, but you love to make yourself feel like you do. Google searches don't remotely indicate knowledge. 

 

 

DLH: Union Rep: Laid Off 'Frozen' Animators Frozen Out Of Bonus. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Apr 24, 16:48

Sounds like the laid-off workers already got a severance bonus. {nm} Antibody Apr 24, 16:51

It's called 'Severance' - not a 'Severance Bonus'. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Apr 24, 17:11

As usual, you miss the point for the nitpick. They got a "severance" bonus, happy? {nm} Antibody Apr 24, 17:43

Not At All - Severance is required by Law when laying off Employees. US Dept. of Labor Link. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Apr 24, 17:56

Do you read what you link? "There is no requirement in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for severance pay." {nm} Antibody Apr 24, 17:59

Severance Pay Terms would be spelled out in their Union Contract. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Apr 24, 18:01

Here is an example of a Disney Severance Pay Plan. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Apr 24, 18:04

So you found an old document from 2001 on google. {nm} Antibody Apr 24, 18:08

An Example that shows Severance Pay outlined in a Disney Union Contract - called 'Severance Pay'. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Apr 24, 18:12

That's not current and even if it was not all Disney employees are union. {nm} Moviesnob Apr 24, 21:02

It was an Example that established that 'Severance' was 'Severance Pay' and NOT a Bonus. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Apr 24, 22:19

Steve Hulett clearly indicated that they were Members of IATSE Animation Guild Local 839. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Apr 24, 22:22

Severance is NOT a Bonus - Give it a Rest. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Apr 24, 22:47

ah, but is it required by law, as you claimed? {nm} forlorne Apr 25, 04:18

But any severance pay is TAXED at the "bonus" rate in the USA, therefore it is considered a "bonus" from the Government's perspective. {nm} BSmurf Apr 25, 07:21

1) The animators would have been hired by the production, not Disney. There is a difference {nm} lapuckfan Apr 25, 06:26

2) There is no severance required by the 839 contract, so in this case it was optional and would be considered a bonus {nm} lapuckfan Apr 25, 06:27

Are we talking a severe bonus ..? {nm} JMT-NL Apr 25, 08:45
