In cases of retrenchment due to financial losses, cessation of business or illness, separation pay is normally half month's pay for every year of service or one month's pay, whichever is higher. If the business was closed due to severe financial losses, it may be exempt from granting separation pay.
Unlike virtually all U.S. jurisdictions, Virgin Islands law incorporates an exception to the common law employment-at-will doctrine for certain categories of nonunionized private sector employees.
The world's employment law regimes really divide into two parts: there's employment at-willwhich is only the U.S.and then there's everybody else. Don Dowling Jr. told us in a recent BLR webinar. Most other countries have indefinite employment.
The three major common law exceptions are public policy, implied contract, and implied covenant of good faith. The at-will presumption is strong, however, and it can be difficult for an employee to prove that his circumstances fall within one of the exceptions.
Separation pay refers to the amount an employee receives at the end of his employment to serve as financial relief. Employers, however, are not obliged to grant separation pay in all cases.
Philippine laws only grant separation pay to those who were dismissed from service not due to their own fault or negligence but for reasons that are beyond their control, i.e. business closure, cessation of operation, retrenchment (reduction of costs) to prevent losses, etc.
The grant of separation pay may be allowed on the grounds of social justice or equity and only if the employee is terminated on grounds other than serious misconduct, willful disobedience, gross and habitual neglect of duty or fraud or willful breach of trust.
Separation pay has been defined as the amount that an employee receives at the time of his severance and is designed to provide the employee with the wherewithal during the period he is looking for another employment. However, this broad definition must not be taken at face value.
Montana is the only state in the U.S. that is completely not at-will. All other states in the U.S. have some version of at-will employment. In Montana, employers can practice at-will employment during a probationary period only. Other states do have exceptions to at-will employment.
California's Labor Code contains a presumption that employees are employed at will. This means that either the employer or the employee may terminate employment at any time, with or without cause or prior notice.
