In the absence of such a negotiated agreement, severance pay may be determined by a labor official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To protect you from unforeseen financial risks arising from the termination of an employment relationship, IceHrm applies a severance pay provision to all employment contracts in this country. IceHrm has extensive expertise in managing litigation around the world and our settlement reserve calculation is based on prevailing common law or statutory claims and best local practices.
