Schedule K

Lumon Industries · Continuity of Benefits Upon Procedure Termination · The Document Nobody Requested In Time

SCD Notice

Schedule K is referenced eleven times in Form SCA-7741-B. It is never summarized, never attached, and never proactively distributed. Available upon written request submitted no fewer than 90 days before termination — a window that requires you to know you are being fired before you are fired. We obtained a copy through means we are not disclosing. Most of it is still redacted. The parts that are not redacted explain why the rest is.

Section 01 · The Document

Continuity of Benefits Upon Procedure Termination

LUMON INDUSTRIES

SCHEDULE K — CONTINUITY OF BENEFITS TABLE

Employee ID: ______
Department: ______
Termination Type: ______
Schedule K Request Date: ______
Termination Date: ______
Days Between (Min. Required: 90): ______

Part A — Standard Voluntary Termination Benefits

Severance Multiplier

.0 x Weekly Base Salary x Years of Service
SCD: The redacted digit is the number they do not want you to negotiate around. Industry standard was 3. Likely 1 or 2.

Applies to Outie compensation only. Innie labor not included. See Section 2.4 of SCA-7741-B.

Benefit Continuation

weeks of health benefit continuation at Lumon group rate, minus % Outie contribution.

Does not cover medical expenses arising from un-severing, reintegration, or neurological sequelae of the procedure. See Section 2.3.

Outplacement Services

May not be used to seek employment with organizations identified by Lumon as competitors. List of competitors available upon separate written request. List is updated quarterly. Former employee bears responsibility for verifying current list before accepting any offer.

NDA Consideration

lump sum, payable upon execution of Mutual Release and NDA (Form SCA-NDA-Final).
SCD: They paid you to agree the NDA was fair. The payment is the agreement. This is circular by design.

Acceptance of this amount constitutes agreement that the NDA terms are fair, reasonable, and not unconscionable.

1. All Part A benefits contingent on execution of Form SCA-NDA-Final within 21 days of termination. Benefits not claimed within 21 days are forfeited and may not be reinstated.

Part B — Involuntary Termination Benefits

Severance Multiplier

Determined at Lumon's discretion based on circumstances. No minimum guaranteed. Lumon's determination is final and not subject to appeal except through Part E.

Innie Transition

Upon involuntary termination, Lumon shall determine the appropriate disposition of the Innie state. Options include: (a) standard termination concurrent with Outie employment end; (b) retirement pending operational need; (c) disposition per Perpetuity Wing protocol . Outie consent is not required for options (b) or (c).
SCD: Option (c) is doing all the work in this row.

2. Lumon's determination of termination type (voluntary vs. involuntary) is final for Schedule K calculation purposes. Submission of a dispute does not delay benefit calculation timeline.

Part C — Unauthorized Un-Severing / Reintegration Events

Benefit Reduction

Up to 100% reduction at Lumon's discretion. Former employee waived right to contest this at Section 2.3 of SCA-7741-B.
SCD: They can pay you nothing and you already signed away your ability to argue about it.

Medical Liability

All medical expenses arising from unauthorized un-severing — including neurological failure, reintegration psychosis, aneurism, or death — are the sole responsibility of the former employee or their estate. Lumon notes that authorized un-severing has never been performed and cannot be compared.
SCD: Read that last sentence again. Authorized un-severing has never been performed. Lumon built a door they have never opened from the inside.

3. This Part does not apply to un-severing events authorized in writing by Lumon's Chief Wellness Officer and countersigned by a representative of the Eagan Family Trust. No such authorization has been issued to date.

Part D — Death of the Outie During Active Service

Estate Payment

payable to designated beneficiary on file.

Payment contingent on estate's execution of expanded NDA binding all heirs.

Innie Disposition

Determined per Perpetuity Wing protocol. Estate has no standing to contest. Innie has no standing to contest. See Sections 4.1 through 4.3 and Section 5.2 of SCA-7741-B.
SCD: Your innie can outlive you. Lumon decides what happens to it after you are gone. Your estate gets paid to agree to this. Your innie is not consulted.

4. In cases where the Outie's death may have been influenced by factors related to the severance procedure, Lumon requires a 90-day review period before estate payment is authorized. Review findings are confidential and not shared with the estate.

Part E — Dispute Resolution

Process

Disputes must be submitted in writing to the Severance Compliance Office within 14 days of benefit notification. Disputes are reviewed by a panel of three Lumon-appointed reviewers whose decision is final and binding. Former employees may not be represented by external legal counsel during review. Decisions issued within days.
SCD: You cannot have a lawyer. The panel is appointed by the company you are disputing. This is not dispute resolution. This is a waiting room designed to run out the clock on any external legal action you might be considering simultaneously.

5. Initiation of any external legal proceeding while a Schedule K dispute is pending shall be deemed a withdrawal of the dispute and a waiver of all associated claims.

The Real-World Parallel

Section 02 · The SCD Assessment

The Document Is Real. The Process Makes It Unreachable.

Schedule K exists. It has existed since Refinement Year 0. It is technically available to every severed employee. All you had to do was know to ask for it 90 days before you were terminated.

The SCD has confirmed through anonymous outie submissions that zero former Lumon employees are on record as having requested Schedule K prior to termination. This is not surprising. The request window opens at the moment you have advance knowledge of your own firing — a moment that, in Lumon's HR process, does not appear to exist. You are terminated. Then you find out you should have asked 90 days ago. Then the 14-day dispute window starts. Then you find out you cannot have a lawyer. Then the panel decides. Then it is over.

This is what the real version of the severance package problem looks like, without the neurosurgery. HR has the timeline. You do not. The document exists. You never saw it. The process for contesting the outcome is managed by the party you would be contesting. The SCD built SeveranceScore because the Schedule K problem is not fiction. It just usually does not have this name.
