It is worth clarifying that «Layoffs are a social benefit to which every worker with a labor relationship is entitled, and corresponds to one month’s salary for each year of service provided.«, clarifies the economic newspaper ‘Portfolio’.
To calculate how much of this savings corresponds to you, you must multiply the accumulated value of layoffs for that year, with the days worked during the year, with 0.12 (equivalent to the 12% already mentioned) and then divide the result of this multiplication of three values by 360.
