Severance you may get, depending on HR policies not under the discretion of individual teams. But bonuses are rarely rewarded to laid off staff because bonuses come from a bonus bucket that is there to encourage and reward existing staff, not laid off staff.
If an employee has given their notice to leave the company, then they are not eligible for a bonus. Bonuses are not an entitlement. In most companies, bonuses are a discretionary form of reward for good, loyal employees and an incentive to stay with the company.
Notify them that they're receiving a bonus and give a brief reason why. For example, if this bonus is for a particular achievement you can mention the specific action or project.
Details to Include: Reason for Bonus: Clearly state the extraordinary contribution or innovation that is being recognized. Amount of Bonus: Specify the bonus amount being awarded. Specific Achievements: Detail the specific achievements or contributions that led to the award.
I trust that my commitment and hard work are worthy of this bonus. I request your understanding and support in granting this bonus as an acknowledgement of the value added by my work. I look forward to your positive response.
Confirm the handover process, plus who you should transfer your skills and knowledge to within your team. These plans should be shared with your colleagues so that they are all aware and aligned. It is also normal to be excluded from email trails and meetings after you've handed in your notice.
