Elon Musk recently issued an apology to some laid-off Tesla employees after it was discovered that their severance packages were inaccurately low. In an email sent on Wednesday, Musk acknowledged the error and assured that it was being promptly rectified. The affected employees had initially been offered severance packages equivalent to two months' pay, extending until June 14.
Under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, companies with over 100 employees are required to provide a minimum of sixty days' pay to laid-off workers in the absence of a 60-day notice period before mass layoffs.
