What is Severance Pay?
Under What Conditions is Severance Pay Paid
The relationship between employer and employee is regulated by the labor laws. In this context, disputes between them and the rights that legally exist are determined by laws, and both the employer and the employee are expected to comply with these rights and the laws that regulate them. Severance pay is the compensation paid to the employee when the employment contract between the employer and the employee is terminated by the employer. You can find legal information on this subject on the page.
In Which Cases Can Severance Pay Not Be Received
Severance pay is paid when certain conditions are met. According to Article 14 of the Labor Law, an employee who has worked for at least one year under the same employer is entitled to severance pay when their employment contract is terminated. However, this alone is not sufficient. The employment contract must not have been terminated by the employer for reasons such as immorality. In addition, severance pay is paid in cases such as the death of the employee, the female employee leaving work within one year of marriage, leaving work due to military service, and obtaining the right to retirement. There is another important point for the employee. The employee can terminate the contract in case of violation of health, good faith, and morality rules. Or, if the work in the workplace stops, they can request the termination of the contract. In this case as well, severance pay is paid. Even if the employment contract between the employer and the employee ends, severance pay is not paid in some cases. If the workplace is transferred to another employer, severance pay is not paid due to the transfer. An employee who leaves their job due to not receiving a salary increase cannot claim severance pay. Severance pay is not paid to a female employee who resigns due to pregnancy and childbirth without the conditions specified in the law being met. Severance pay is not paid to an employee whose employment contract has been terminated due to proven violation of moral and good faith rules. Those working in domestic services without being subject to the Labor Law, apprentices, etc., cannot receive severance pay. You can visit the page to get more information about severance pay.
