Am I allowed to keep my severance package even though I get another position in the same company?
Got the call from HR that my current role is being eleminated. Not based on performance. I was offered a serverance package and allowed to look for other positions in the same company. Question is am I allowed to keep my severance package even though I get another position in the same company? I read the serverance package and doesn't say anything about forfeiting the severance package if I were to obtain another job in the same company.

Many severance agreements prohibit working for the same employer. Others require advance notice before accepting a position with any affiliated company. Some have language which state that severance ends the minute an employee returns to work.
You should pay an employment attorney a flat fee to review your agreement if you are denied the severance pay or the job.
