What is the statutory redundancy severance pay entitlement in Kiribati?
Under Section 49 of the Employment and Industrial Relations Code (EIRC) 2015, an employee terminated on grounds of redundancy (operational requirements, organizational restructuring, or business closure) is entitled to severance pay of not less than two (2) weeks basic wages for each completed year of continuous service.
What are the statutory notice periods required under Kiribati labor law?
Under Section 48 of the EIRC 2015, the minimum statutory notice period depends on length of continuous service: (1) Less than 1 year: 1 week notice; (2) 1 to 5 years: 2 weeks notice; (3) More than 5 years: 4 weeks notice. An employer who terminates an employee without notice must pay full salary in lieu of notice.
How is accrued untaken annual leave treated upon termination in Kiribati?
Any accrued but unused annual recreation leave days must be encashed in full at the employee's current daily basic wage rate and added to the final departure settlement.
Is severance pay taxable in Kiribati?
Under the Income Tax Act 1990, statutory severance and redundancy compensation payments receive concessional tax treatment or are treated as capital compensation for loss of office rather than regular salary.
Does an employee dismissed for serious misconduct receive severance pay in Kiribati?
No. Under Section 47 of EIRC 2015, summary dismissal for proven gross misconduct or serious breach of duty extinguishes entitlements to severance pay and notice pay, although unpaid earned wages and accrued statutory leave must still be disbursed.
