Google nixes paying out remainder of maternity and medical leave for laid-off employees
CNBC
初めて見た nix という単語。
nix – [níks] – (動) 拒否する、拒絶する
Google は、育休・医療休暇の途中にレイオフされた社員の、全期間分の手当支給を拒否という感じ。
本文を見て、合っているか確認。
Google is indicating to ex-staffers, who got laid off while on maternity and medical leave, that they won’t get paid for all of their remaining time off, according to former employees and written correspondence shared with CNBC.
More than 100 former workers have organized a group they call “Laid off on Leave.” They’re asking executives to pay them for the weeks and months they were approved to take off before the job cuts were announced in January. Those who spoke with CNBC said they’ve been told they’ll only receive pay through their designated end date, along with standard severance.
レイオフされた(元)社員のなかで leave 中だった人達が、「事前に承認されていた全期間の手当」の支給を求めたが、会社側は、雇用契約終了までの支払いになると回答。
最近レイオフのニュースが多いので、severance という単語もよく見るようになった。
severance – [sév(ə)rəns] – (名) 契約解除
発音が難しい。
