How to calculate your settlement? This is one of the questions that dozens of people often ask when their employer decides to dispense with their services or, where appropriate, for unjustified dismissal. However, in any case, they must give the percentage corresponding to the time worked in the company.

The bonus will be calculated based on a starting date and end of employment in a period of time in which you worked continuously. For this calculation, the previous and/or current year worked and not paid will be taken into account.
