Legal Basis

Severance pay is calculated under Article 14 of Law No. 1475 (kept in force by Article 120 of Law No. 4857): 30 days' wages for each full year from the start of employment, prorated at the same rate for any period exceeding a full year; the annual amount may not exceed the statutory cap, which corresponds to the maximum retirement bonus paid to the highest-ranking civil servant under the Civil Servants Law.

Notice pay is calculated under Article 17 of Law No. 4857, based on the wages corresponding to the statutory minimum notice period tied to length of service (2 weeks up to 6 months, 4 weeks between 6 months and 1.5 years, 6 weeks between 1.5 and 3 years, 8 weeks beyond 3 years), and is not subject to a statutory cap.

The wage basis for both payments is the "dressed gross wage" under Article 14 of Law No. 1475 and the final paragraph of Article 17 of Law No. 4857 — the base wage plus any regular contractual or statutory benefits that have a measurable monetary value. Only stamp tax is deducted from severance pay; income tax and stamp tax are deducted from notice pay; social security premiums are not deducted from either.
