New Online Calculator Simplifies Severance Pay Estimates for Workers

A new virtual calculator is now available on the conciliacionlaboral.org.mx website, offering employees a straightforward method to estimate their severance pay without the immediate need for legal counsel. The tool guides users through a series of questions, including their salary, payment frequency (daily, weekly, bi-weekly, fortnightly, or monthly), and employment start date. It also inquires if the user worked in a northern border municipality, a factor that can influence minimum wage calculations. Upon entering the required information, the calculator automatically generates an estimated severance amount for justified dismissals. The results are presented with a detailed breakdown of various benefits, such as aguinaldo (Christmas bonus), vacation pay, vacation premium, seniority premium, and constitutional indemnity. This initiative aims to provide transparency and empower workers with preliminary information regarding their labor rights.
