How it’s calculated
  1. Find the end-of-service clause in your contract with the ministry or agency.
  2. Enter the days per year for the first period and later years.
  3. Daily wage = monthly salary ÷ 26 (change the rates if your contract uses months of 30 days).

  • Ask your HR department for the written basis of the calculation.

Questions

Is government indemnity the same as Law 6/2010?

Not necessarily. Law 6/2010 governs the private sector. Government contracts follow civil-service rules and the contract itself.
