TL;DR — Quick Summary

Fix errors when calculating employee severance and termination pay in Aspel NOI: proportional bonus, vacation days, seniority premium, and salary integration issues.

Error Calculating Severance and Termination Pay in Aspel NOI

Calculating severance and termination pay is one of the most delicate payroll processes. An error can result in labor lawsuits, IMSS fines, or incorrect payments. Aspel NOI automates these calculations but requires perfectly aligned employee data and system configuration.

Prerequisites

  • Aspel NOI with active payroll module.
  • Complete employee file (dates, salary, termination type).
  • Updated ISR and IMSS tables.

Common Errors and Solutions

1. Incorrect Proportional Christmas Bonus

Solution: Verify the employee’s hire date and confirm bonus days in System Parameters (minimum 15 per LFT). Formula: (Bonus days / 365) × Days worked in year × Daily salary.

2. Wrong Proportional Vacation Days

Solution: Update the vacation table in Configuration > Tables > Vacations. With the 2023 reform, minimums are 12 days first year, increasing 2 days per year until 5th, then 2 days every 5 years.

3. Seniority Premium Not Calculated

Solution: Ensure you selected Termination (not Severance). Enable the Seniority Premium checkbox. Calculation: 12 days × years worked × Capped salary (max 2 × minimum wage).

4. Incorrect ISR Withholding

Solution: Severance is taxed differently per LISR Articles 95-97. Verify NOI separates ordinary income from separation income. Update ISR tables.
