How to get the most from dismissal

Most people refer to the dismissal of an extremely negative. This attitude - a relic of the Soviet past, when people were dismissed only for theft and drunkenness, and therefore to dismiss treated like a leper. Now dismissal - part of any business. In different countries, from 30 to 50% of all layoffs fallsWorkforce Turnover Around The World the dismissal at the initiative of the company.

The list of reasons for dismissal has expanded, and some of them are independent of the employee:

• Companies no longer need such a role.
• Companies need such a role, but now it is required for a different set of skills.
• Man burned, lost interest in the work and is therefore not as good as before.
• There was someone more suitable for this role.
• Not a relationship with management or colleagues, and so on.

If you are fired, do not play drama. This way you will not help. Instead, let's discuss how to get the most out of the situation.

What the employee has the right to severance

In total there are three types of dismissal:

• on its own initiative;
• on the initiative of the company without conflicts;
• at the initiative of the conflict.

For the first option is very simple: you work off two weeks and get compensation for unused vacation.

In the third case, you can hardly expect to anything other than compensation leave. This option dismissal for damaging the company from property damage to damage to the image of the company or the disclosure of confidential information.

In this article we will look at the second option: how to behave when you are fired without conflict.

World practice to compensation in the amount of weekly to monthly pay for each worked in the company of the year. For example, if you have worked for two years, the mid-market conditions - compensation in the amount of from two weeks to two months' salary.

However, the labor codes of many countries of the former Soviet Union provided a compensation of two months' salary and a warning not later than one month prior to dismissal in the case of post reductions.

We can therefore expect that the employee will be paid not less than three salaries. But is this really the case? Let's investigate.

How to get away and keep warm relationship with the company

Most of the layoffs by the employer are extremely negative: often with tears, insults, minor mischief and break relations. All the fault natural reaction people to change, which can be represented graphically as follows:

Companies rarely make efforts to mitigate the effect of the dismissal. But this does not mean that you can not seem to make a difference. Try to do something from the following list:

• Talk to a career counselor. So you will understand that in front of you a lot of ways.

Why all this? Below, we'll show you how to get the maximum compensation from the company, but you will be able to do it, if the emotions are under control.

What amounts and in which cases the company pays

Here we rely not on the Labor Code, and the actual practice of companies.

Compensation for unused vacation

There are a variety of rules and approaches, but the market practice is as follows: unused vacation postponed from year to year and is subject to severance package. All unused vacation days multiplied by the average daily earnings in the last 12 months of work. Average daily earnings - is the sum of wages, accrued for the year, divided by 12 and then by 29.3 (the average number of calendar days in the month).

If you currently have CP - 1000 dollars, and six months ago was $ 500, the average earnings for the day is as follows:

(6 × (1 000 + 500)) ÷ 12 ÷ 29,3 ≈ 25,6.

Suppose you have accumulated 17 days of unused vacation:

17 × 25,6 ≈ 435.

Salaries for the current month

Less advance. The company considers the number of days worked and the number of working days in the month. Divide the number of days worked by the number of workers and multiplying by the rate - this will be your amount. For example:

(14 ÷ 22) × 1 000 ≈ 636.

Bonuses and premiums

Someone had their severance pays and who does not. Normal market practice is this: if the date of the planned payment of bonuses and premiums falls on a date after the dismissal - not to pay. You're lucky if the company will go forward and pay or will finalize before the date of payment. By the way, most of the companies the highest "turnover" begins immediately after the payment of the annual bonus - people waiting.

The promised bonuses design

If you were promised bonuses for the project that you implemented in part or in full, be sure to discuss the reception of all or part of the amount.

Arrears of wages or bonuses

If she present, It is customary to pay in full.

Compensation

If you cut, the market practice - to notify one month and to pay two salaries. Someone does not notify the past month and pays three salaries. There are usually companies want to save money, so they can offer only one salary in the hope that the employee agrees.

If you are fired for poor performance (or you just say so), they usually do not pay the top, except for compensation and holiday pay for time worked. But, perhaps, will agree on compensation in the amount of at least one salary.
