Severance pay is a central right in labor law, but not everyone knows when they're entitled and how much. The Severance Pay Law generally sets entitlement after one year of work, at one month's salary per year. Entitlement isn't limited to dismissal: in certain circumstances resignation also entitles you — "resignation treated as dismissal" — for example due to a material worsening of terms, relocation, or caring for a child. It's also important to check whether a Section 14 arrangement applies, which affects the source of payment. An initial estimate helps you understand whether you're owed and how much, before approaching the employer or a lawyer.

Frequently asked
- When is severance pay owed?
- Usually after at least one year of work, when the employee is dismissed. In some resignation cases severance is also owed — "resignation treated as dismissal" — for example due to a material worsening of terms. LawLab examines whether the circumstances you provide entitle you.
- How is severance pay calculated?
- As a rule, one month's salary per year of work, based on the last determining salary and its components. Where a Section 14 arrangement applies, the funds accrued in the fund may replace or count toward the severance. LawLab gives an initial estimate.
- Is the estimate accurate or binding?
- No. It's an initial estimate for orientation only; entitlement and the amount are determined by the circumstances, the documents, and the law.
- Does this replace a lawyer?
- No. The estimate is not legal advice and is not a substitute for a licensed attorney. It's meant to help you understand whether you're owed and how much before you consult one.
