I have been receiving calls regarding the Avaya Award Payout for Occupational Employees. 

Based on this Avaya Performance Factor for October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2005, the Avaya Award payout under our negotiated Avaya Award Plan for

Represented Employees would have been less than the negotiated minimum payout of $570.

Per the CWA/Avaya agreement, the 2005 Avaya Award payout will be the minimum payout of $570 and will appear in paychecks payable December 9, 2005.
