Severance compensates unjustified dismissal (3 months + 20 days per year + seniority premium, plus proportionals). The final paycheck covers accrued and proportional benefits when there’s no employer liability (resignation, mutual agreement, justified cause).
Add: unpaid wages + proportional year-end bonus [(IDS × 15 ÷ 365) × days worked] + proportional vacation [vacation days by seniority × (days worked ÷ 365) × daily wage] + 25% vacation premium. Include other regular agreed proportionals.
If you’re dismissed without proven cause, pressured to resign, or your fixed-term contract is “renewed” for the same ongoing role (sham). Gather evidence and start conciliation; if no deal, sue.
Severance: 2 months from dismissal. Final paycheck and accrued benefits: 1 year from their due date. Start conciliation immediately to preserve terms.
Pay stubs and bank statements, contract and HR policies, dismissal/resignation communications, commission/bonus reports, witnesses. Prepare a calculation sheet with IDS and each item’s basis.
