JOB ELIMINATION NOTICE PERIOD
In 2010, the total number of employees at Weyerhaeuser decreased by 4.6 percent, primarily as a result of closing or selling facilities and corporate reorganization. Whenever possible, we place affected employees in positions elsewhere within the company.
Weyerhaeuser attempts to ease the transition of involuntary terminations by:
- Giving employees advance notice, and follow all applicable laws and regulations regarding required notice periods.
- Offering a variety of severance benefits, including severance pay and job-search assistance.
