Comprehensive Regulatory Guide: Section 47 Termination Settlements
1. Section 47 Compensation Mechanics
Under Section 47 of the Seychelles Employment Act 1995, compensation for length of service is a mandatory statutory protection:
- 1 Day Per Month: Employees accumulate 1 day of basic wage compensation for each completed month of service, providing exactly 12 days of basic salary for each completed full year.
- 26-Day Divisor: The statutory formula divides monthly basic salary by 26 to derive the daily wage base for severance calculations.
- In Lieu of Notice: Where the employer terminates the contract without 1 month's prior written notice, a full additional month's basic salary must be paid.
2. Ministry of Employment Procedures
Seychelles enforces strict procedural oversight to prevent unjust dismissals:
- Competent Officer Review: All proposed corporate redundancies must be notified in writing to the Ministry of Employment at least 21 days in advance.
- Dispute Resolution: If an employee contests the termination, the matter is referred to the Employment Tribunal which has power to order reinstatement or augmented compensatory damages.
