How a universal severance package works Earlier in September, NBCUniversal notified its U.S. and U.K. employees that come 2026, they must return to the office four days a week - with the option to work remotely on Friday [3]. NBCUniversal employees who don't want to return to the office can take a flat-rate severance package of eight weeks' salary and three months' healthcare coverage.

"We understand the Government's objective of fair pay, but you can only have fair pay if you have a job that actually pays," Nicholls said. "Now is not the time to make big jumps in employment costs."

Under the new reform, municipalities will gain more autonomy in approving unemployment benefits, potentially leading to a significant reduction in government spending and job centre operations.
