Companies and institutions provide employees with severance pay (grechuiti) after five years of service. This amount is paid if the employee leaves the institution after completing five years of service. The article examines what the size of the benefit will be with a salary of 50 thousand rupees.
The grechuiti system is designed to provide employees with compensation in addition to their salary. It is paid after the employee has worked for a certain period. Typically, this benefit is provided to employees who work continuously at one company, and it is paid after five years of service.
The amount of this payment depends on the employee's last salary and the total number of years worked. There is a special formula for calculation. Grechuiti represents the benefit that the employer (company) provides to the employee in exchange for their labor service.
According to the Social Security Code of 2020, grechuiti is paid in case of an employee's retirement or dismissal. Payment is also made in the event of the employee's death or disability. To qualify for the benefit, one must work continuously for five years at one institution. However, the five-year service requirement is not mandatory in cases of death or disability.
For employees working under fixed-term contracts or agreements, there are special provisions. They may receive a calculated benefit based on a projection, even without completing the standard five-year term. This rule came into effect in 2025.
To calculate grechuiti, the employee's last salary and the number of years worked are used. This is the basis upon which the benefit amount is determined. When calculating grechuiti, the basic rate and the housing allowance (DA) are also taken into account.
The formula is as follows: Grechuiti = (Last Salary × 15 × Years Worked) ÷ 26. Here, Last Salary is the sum of Basic Salary and DA. The number 15 signifies payment for 15 days of service per year, and 26 is the number of working days in a month.
If the basic salary is 50 thousand rupees and the employee has worked for five years, their average salary for 15 days will be 28,846 rupees. Applying this amount to the formula yields a total grechuiti amount of 144,231 rupees. Thus, if a person leaves the institution after five years of service, they will receive a total benefit of 144,231 rupees. It is important to note that for the calculation of grechuiti in this example, it was assumed that the basic salary and DA amounted to 50 thousand rupees.
