Employees terminated for reasons related to compulsory military service, long-term disability, old age, or significant changes in working conditions will have variable severance based on the length of employment between 10 - 44 working days.

To protect you from unforeseen financial risks arising from terminations, Deel applies a Severance Accrual to all employment agreements in this country.
