How is severance pay calculated?

Severance pay is calculated depending on how many years you have worked.

1. For each full year, one month of normal salary is given.

2. Any period of above six months but less than one year shall be deemed as one year.

3. For any period of less than six months, it is one-half of the monthly salary.

4. If your monthly salary is three times higher than the average monthly salary of workers as announced last year by the people’s government at the municipal level directly under the central government or at the level of the districted city where the entity is situated, the rate shall be three times the average monthly salary of workers and may not exceed 12 years of work.

5. Monthly salary means the average monthly salary of the worker for the 12 months before the discharge or termination of the labor contract thereof.

Example:

You have worked for 3 years and 3 months with a monthly salary of 10,000.
Severance pay is 3.5 X 10,000 = 35000
