1. What is Zambia Termination Payment?

Zambia termination payment, also known as severance pay, is calculated as two months' pay for each completed year of service. This is mandated by Zambian labor laws for employees terminated under certain conditions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Zambia termination payment formula:

\[ Severance = 2 \times Monthly\ Pay \times Years\ of\ Service \]

Where:

\( Monthly\ Pay \) — Employee's monthly salary in Zambian Kwacha (ZMW)
\( Years\ of\ Service \) — Total years worked at the company

Explanation: The formula calculates the total severance payment an employer is required to pay to a terminated employee according to Zambian labor regulations.

3. Importance of Severance Calculation

Details: Accurate severance calculation is crucial for employers to comply with Zambian labor laws and for employees to understand their entitlements upon termination of employment.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the monthly salary in Zambian Kwacha (ZMW) and the total years of service. Both values must be positive numbers.
