Severance packages are outdated. While many companies continue to rely on these traditional methods to manage layoffs, they often fall short in providing long-term benefits for both the employer and the employee. Enter Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB), a modern solution that’s changing the game. SUB is a benefit designed to supplement state unemployment benefits, providing laid-off employees with a weekly payment that’s tied to the amount of unemployment they receive. Unlike traditional severance, SUB payments are structured to extend until the employee finds new work, creating a smoother and more financially secure transition. Here are five reasons why SUB is the game-changing solution to your business needs.

As these wildfires continue to affect California, many of us are searching for ways to stand by our employees and communities. Supplemental Unemployment Benefit (SUB) plans are one possible avenue that some employers have used successfully in past crises—helping workers bridge financial gaps without bankrupting the business. This isn’t about pushing a solution; it’s about sharing what we’ve seen work in other trying times. If you’ve been through this before—whether as an employer or an employee—your insights could really help someone else right now. How did your organization support you during shutdowns? Were there resources, like SUB plans, that made a difference? Let’s continue to come together and share knowledge, because every bit of support matters when our neighbors are in need. #CaliforniaFires #CommunitySupport #EmployeeCare #ShareExperiences

Layoffs aren’t always front-page news—until they happen to you or your team. According to a recent Newsweek piece, major names like Amazon, Boeing, and Spirit Airlines are already announcing workforce cuts heading into 2025. While unemployment claims have dipped and economic recovery appears on track, experts point to AI adoption and shifting policies as potential wildcards for the new year. At Transition Services, Inc., we’ve witnessed firsthand how sudden job losses can shake a company’s culture and morale. That’s why we focus on bridging the gap for laid-off employees through Supplemental Unemployment Benefit (SUB) Plans—an extra layer of support that can soften the blow when unexpected changes arise. The real question is how organizations choose to navigate these transitions. By preparing now, employers can reinforce trust and loyalty—even in the face of uncertainty. Because when layoffs happen, the true test of leadership is how you stand by your people. #Layoffs #JobCuts #WorkforceTrends #HR #TalentManagement #MergersAndAcquisitions #CostSavings #FinancialSecurity #SupplementalUnemployment #SUBPlan #UnemploymentBenefits #EmployeeBenefits #TransitionServices #CareerSecurity #Innovation #Growth #ProactivePlanning www.transitionservices.com

General Motors recently announced another round of layoffs, impacting approximately 1,000 employees, primarily in North America. Workforce reductions are challenging for any organization and its people. However, strategic tools like Supplemental Unemployment Benefits (SUB Plans) can soften the impact while supporting both employees and the company.  Here’s how a SUB Plan could help:   ✅ Financial Security for Employees: SUB Plans bridge the gap between state unemployment insurance (UI) and employees' pre-layoff income, providing a more stable financial foundation during a difficult transition.   ✅ Tax Benefits for Employers: Unlike traditional severance, SUB payments are classified as benefits, not wages, which means employers avoid payroll taxes.   ✅ Flexibility: Payments under a SUB Plan cease once employees find new jobs, ensuring resources are used effectively.   ✅ Reputation Management: Using a SUB Plan demonstrates a commitment to employees, protecting employer branding during a sensitive time.  In GM's case, utilizing a SUB Plan could alleviate stress for employees affected by these layoffs while maintaining goodwill with the public and stakeholders. As we continue to navigate economic challenges and evolving business priorities, solutions like SUB Plans offer a way forward that balances financial prudence and employee care.  Interested in learning how a SUB Plan could fit your organization’s needs?
