Analysis of regulations concernig severance payments in connection with the termination of employment for reason not related to the individual employees and their conformity with the principles from management theory and law

The purpose of this paper is to show, that severance payments in conection with the termination of employment for reason not related to the individual employees are an element of remuneration. This is why the principles governing remuneration have to be applied by employers and trade unions also to these payments. In author's opinion there is no problems in practical observance of principles: compulsority, privilege, cash payment, particularism. However, doubts appear for practice of application of principles of undiscrimination and decency, in the context of too high benefits which receive individual workers. As a metter of principles of modified equivalency, there is a problem with calculation of the amount of severance payments based on total years of work. If we talk about principle of formalism the problem is precision of record concerning condition granting this payment.
