Aside from their remaining compensation and retirement benefits, it may include additional reimbursements such as payment depending on the number of years they have served their company, payment for their unconsumed vacation or sick leave and medical, dental and life insurance grants among others.
These packages are mostly given to those employees who are laid off or those who retire from their jobs. And in some instances, these packages are given or offered to the employees for various reasons or maybe because the company is undergoing a restructuring or reorganization and even downsizing their workforce to lessen their financial liabilities for the employees salaries.
