Severance for Absenteeism Termination: Should More Than One Month's Pay Be Given?

Severance Benefits for Termination Due to Absenteeism

A staff member was terminated for absenteeism and is now requesting severance benefits. Is this appropriate? From my understanding, labor law states that if a staff member's appointment is terminated due to misconduct, they are entitled to only one month's basic pay. Could someone provide more clarity on this issue?

We should have a valid, authorized reason to terminate an employee as per the Labor Law. If there was a valid reason, there is no need to pay anything other than their monthly salary.
