Job Elimination Notice Period

In 2008, the total number of employees at Weyerhaeuser decreased by about 48% percent (or 18,014 jobs), primarily as a result of closing or selling facilities and reorganizing within business units. Weyerhaeuser attempts to ease the transition of involuntary terminations through several actions:

• We notify employees as far in advance as possible, and follow all applicable laws and regulations regarding required notice periods.
• We offer a variety of severance benefits, including severance pay and job-search assistance.
• Whenever possible, we place affected employees in positions elsewhere within the company.
