Settlement

Plus severance

Contract

Seniority and agreement

Scenarios

Compare before you decide

Not advice

It estimates; it does not rule

The short answer

A settlement-and-severance simulator calculates both amounts from the contract and the collective agreement, lets you compare scenarios and export the result for internal review. It helps you decide; it does not replace labour advice or a legal opinion.

Anyone searching for “settlement severance simulator” needs an ordered number before the meeting, not a judgment. The simulator does not file the dismissal or communicate anything to the TGSS.

Vacly Laboral starts at €2.50 per employee per month, VAT included. 15-day trial.

What is a settlement and severance simulator?

It is an estimate of the cost of ending the relationship, built from the contract (and seniority) and the collective agreement. It is not the dismissal. It is not an expert report.

  • It calculates settlement and severance in one place. Splitting them across two spreadsheets is the usual mistake.
  • It starts from the contract and the agreement, not from an invented scale.
  • It compares scenarios: a different ground, a different date, a different regulating salary if you set it.
  • It exports for internal review: payroll firm, management or adviser. The file is not a ruling.
  • It does not replace legal judgement. If the dismissal is unfair, void or there is a side deal, the number changes outside the simulator.

Where do the figures come from (contract and agreement)?

Without a contract and an agreement, settlement is a guess. The simulator uses what should already be on the file.

  • Contract data and seniority: type, dates, working time. Seniority moves severance.
  • Collective agreement: tables and items that enter the calculation. A wrongly assigned agreement falsifies the result.
  • If the contract lives in Laboral, the simulator does not start from a blank file. If it is missing, you load it to estimate.
  • We do not claim it automatically calculates every collective dismissal, redundancy plan or framework-agreement severance. It estimates settlement and severance from contract and agreement.

How do you compare scenarios?

A single figure does not decide. The payroll firm and the SME need to see what changes if the date or the type of termination moves.

Comparison

Two or more hypotheses, side by side. It is for the meeting with management or the client, not for improvising out loud.

Decide, do not execute

The simulator does not file the dismissal, does not generate the letter and does not notify the leaving to the TGSS.

Review

The number is shown to whoever has to sign or advise. That is why it exports.

What can you export?

A calculation that only lives on screen cannot be checked. The export is for internal review.

  • Exportable for internal review: management, payroll firm or labour adviser.
  • It is not an official document or a TGSS or SMAC form.
  • It does not replace the dismissal letter, the signed settlement or a waiver.
  • Keep it with the rest of the file. A loose PDF on the desktop is not a case file.

Does it replace legal judgement?

No. This sentence is not a footer disclaimer: it is the product. The simulator estimates so you can decide; it does not advise.

  • It does not replace your labour adviser or a lawyer. A wrongly classified dismissal is not fixed by a recalculation.
  • There is no certification. There is no dismissal simulator “homologated” by Inspection or by the courts.
  • If there is doubt about the classification (objective, disciplinary, unfair), the doubt is legal. The simulator shows amounts.
  • When you actually terminate, the procedure (letter, settlement, notification) is another circuit. Here you only estimate.
