VERSION 1: Compliance & Transparency Focus
Pillars: Compliance, Transparency, Trust
Severance Accrual is a simple way to stay compliant in countries where severance rules can create large and unexpected final payments. In these markets, we set aside 6.5% of your talent’s monthly salary so the funds are ready if they are ever needed. It is not an added fee, it is a structured safeguard that ensures you never face a sudden, high-cost invoice at the end of employment.
This accrual only applies in the 24 countries where severance is legally required. We handle the calculations, track the amounts and make sure everything aligns with local regulations. If the funds are not needed, the balance is returned to you at the end of the contract. It gives you clarity, protects your cash flow and keeps the employment setup fully compliant at all times.
VERSION 2: Effortless Experience & Predictability
Pillars: Effortless, Customer & Talent Experience, Transparency
Here is the easiest way to think about Severance Accrual. Some countries have complex termination rules, and severance payments can be substantial. Instead of leaving you with a large, unexpected bill at the end of employment, we put aside 6.5% of your talents monthly salary in those specific countries where severance is required. It builds gradually, like a safety buffer, so you never have to worry about a big final invoice.
You do not have to manage anything. We take care of the calculations, the tracking and the adjustments based on local rules. If the severance is never needed, the amount is refunded to you at the end of the contract. It is a simple way to keep everything smooth, predictable and stress-free while ensuring your talent’s rights are fully protected.
VERSION 3: Strategic Risk Management & Long-Term Partnership
Pillars: Compliance, Trust, Effortless
Severance Accrual is part of how we help you manage long-term employment risk in a structured and responsible way. In countries with strict severance laws, final payouts can be significant, and they often arrive at inconvenient moments. By accruing 6.5% of your talents monthly salary in the 24 countries where severance is mandated, you build a reserve that is there precisely when you need it.
It is a pragmatic approach. We safeguard you from unpredictable financial impact, ensure compliance with local regulations and give your business stability no matter where you hire. You always know what is being accrued, and if the full amount is not required, it is returned to you at the end of the employment contract. It is about planning ahead, reducing risk and giving you confidence as you scale internationally.
