PACCAR severance packages?

Okay, this is more of a 'just in case' kind of question, but with all the background chatter about 'efficiency improvements' at PACCAR, I'm starting to think about worst-case scenarios. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about what PACCAR's severance packages are typically like? I'm not looking to jump ship or anything, but it's always good to be informed, right? Especially if there were to be a reduction in force, which, again, hasn't been confirmed at all. Just trying to understand the potential landscape if things were to shift unexpectedly. Any details on notice periods, pay, benefits continuation, or outplacement services would be helpful. Trying to stay ahead of the curve here.

While I haven't personally experienced a RIF at PACCAR, I've heard from former colleagues at other large manufacturing companies that severance often depends on tenure and position. Generally, it's a few weeks' pay for each year of service, sometimes with continued benefits for a period. It's wise to be prepared, but remember that 'efficiency improvements' don't always mean layoffs; they can also involve restructuring or process optimization. Keep an eye on official communications.

It's smart to be proactive and understand potential scenarios. From what I've gathered through industry connections, PACCAR tends to be pretty standard with their severance if it comes to that. Think along the lines of base pay continuation for a set number of weeks per year of service, plus maybe some support for career transition. Best advice is to check your employee handbook or HR portal for any official policy documents they might have on file. That'll give you the most accurate picture.
