Termination Processing

When an employee's services are terminated, regardless of the reason, the employer must make mandatory payments to the employee, depending on the circumstances. Payments can consist of:

  • Final wages.

  • Unused leave entitlements.

  • Redundancy and retrenchment payments.

  • Early retirement.

  • Invalidity and disability payments.

  • Pay in lieu of notice (considered an ETP).

  • Ex gratia payments (considered an ETP).

The calculation of these payments can vary from organization to organization depending on the reason for termination.
