Severance Repayment

Prior to receiving severance pay, a Nurse must sign an agreement to repay severance to the University if re-employed by the University at any of its locations within 16 weeks of layoff. In that event, the Nurse may retain that portion of the severance pay equal to the base pay they would have earned if not laid off. The balance is to be paid either in full at the time of re-employment or by payroll deduction.
