Who is entitled to severance pay?

Severance pay is the compensation paid by the employer if the employee who works under the same employer for a certain period of time expires in one of the conditions listed in the law. Its basis is the 14th article of the Labor Law No. 1475 in force.

Basic Conditions

• Dependent on the same employer at least one year to have worked,
• Termination of the employment contract in one of the conditions specified in the law.

In which cases is the right earned?

• The employer terminates the contract, except for justified reasons such as violation of moral and goodwill rules,
• The employee's termination of the contract for just cause (e.g., non-payment of wages, mobbing)
• Resignation due to active military service,
• Expiration of the premium and insurance period required for retirement or old-age pension,
• The female worker leaves voluntarily within one year from the date of marriage,
• The death of the worker (in this case the compensation is paid to the legal heirs).

How is it calculated?

For each full working year, the last of the worker 30 days dressed gross fee paid in the amount; It is taken into account by proportioning the periods increasing from one year. The amount to be paid cannot exceed the severance pay ceiling announced for each period and only stamp duty is deducted.

The correct determination of the cause of termination directly affects the right to compensation. For this reason, obtaining legal support before making a notice of termination or signing prevents loss of rights.
