I get to stay on payroll 90 days. At the end of that, a lump sum severance that includes 1 week for every 6 months of tenure, rounded to the nearest 6 month (min 4 weeks, max 20 weeks) + stipend for healthcare + PTO payout. You will also receive any stock that vests in the 90 day notification period. The actual severance offer will be generated within 10 days of the termination date (end of notification period---for us today 1/26). We are required to sign to receive the lump sum.

r/amazonemployees on Reddit: Pivot Severance Calculation
February 20, 2024 -

Is there anyone here who recently went through the pivot/PIP process and was offered the payout?

Can you drop in your base salary, tenure, and the amount they offered you?

Trying to calculate how much I’ll get when the inevitable happens :)


UPDATE - Already in the comments but bringing up here. Thank you u/MrHaVoC805!

Payout = 10 weeks of base pay + (basepay * 1%) * (tenure in months /12)

My example
Pivot Payment - Pre-Tax: $24,495.63
Base Annual: $88,600
Tenure: 8.42 years (101 months)

$88,600/52 = $1,703.85
$1,703.85 * 10 = $17,038.46
$88,600 x 0.01 = $886

$24,495.63 = $17,038.46 + ($886 x (101/12))

After taxes, I ended up with closer to $17.5k (absolute robbery) but that of course depends on your own tax deductions.

r/AmazonFC on Reddit: Has anyone here gotten Severance pay from Amazon.
March 11, 2023 -

Got a final written. Walked out by HR and signed my appeal for I believe I don’t deserve. Written up for mediums rate being to low. I get put on south and idk how everyone’s building is set up. But south side gets nothing but single item boxes or totes. There’s been no work at my site for weeks. Vto out the ass. I can’t control what’s coming to my station. But I’ve only gotten single items(tide pods, “ice flavored water”) the usual. So hopefully my appeal goes my way. *Also noted I’ve been working for Amazon for 5 years 11 months. 7 managers and all my write ups have come from current manager. Older guy, I believe has it out for me. Most importantly just wanted to know if anyone has gotten severance pay? In case my appeal doesn’t go my way
