As a former employee of Erlanger when my position was eliminated they gave me they "rules for termination" package.
At that time the most ANY "working" employee was entitled to was 8 weeks severance no matter how long you had been there plus any unused pal (vacation)time and your health benefits were to be under COBRA rules. During Jim Brexler admin MANY employees got this treatment. I realized that the board signed a "contract" with severance terms IF he was TERMINATED but all I keep hearing and READING is that HE RESIGNED so which is it. He should get the same that Erlanger has doled out to ALL the other employees. I mean 8 weeks of his salary is $11,000 a week equals roughly $88,000 that amount would be a years pay to most other "working" employees not including most dept managers at $100k.
