How it's calculated
- For every 12 months of continuous employment you get 3 months of remuneration.
- For extra months, you get one twelfth of that yearly amount for each month.
- A month's remuneration is the higher of your last complete month and your average over the last 12 months, overtime and regular bonuses included.
- The employer can deduct any gratuity it paid and its contributions to a pension fund or to the PRGF.
An example
After 6 years and 3 months on Rs 30,000 a month, severance is Rs 562,500.
