If I am in the bench for an extended amount of time and my company decides to let me go… 1. Do you think severance will be provided? 2. Will I be eligible for unemployment benefits?

Any consulting firm that will lay you off will give 2 weeks severance for each year of employment up to a certain amount depending on level. As someone who was let go earlier this year like this I was able to collect UE benefits no problem.

Yup go for it.

Severance depends on how long you have been there- they may still do 2 weeks.

Unemoyment most likely.

Been here 4yrs

Severance is at the discretion of the employer but if its a layoff then you will likely get something. You will qualify for unemployment unless its a termination with cause or you resign on your own.

Makes sense. Thanks!!

Maybe

It depends

You’ll most likely get one or the other. Generally if you’re fired, there won’t be severance but you’ll qualify for your state’s unemployment benefits. If laid off (along with many others), severance package will be included but this eliminates you from qualifying for UEB
