Severance and notice

Severance, notice and leave pay for a leaving employee.

The employer and the accountant reviewing an exit breakdown in a meeting room

When an employment contract ends, we calculate severance pay, notice pay and unused annual leave pay separately and give you a written breakdown with deductions. Severance uses the ceiling in force on the date the contract ends.

Severance uses the gross pay including regular benefits such as travel and meal payments. The breakdown is sent for your approval before payment.

What you get on each exit

  • Severance calculation
  • Notice pay calculation
  • Unused leave pay
  • Deductions and net payment

The notice period is 2 to 8 weeks depending on length of service (Labour Law 4857 art. 17).
