## How it's calculated

1. Daily wage = monthly wage ÷ 30.
2. 21 days × daily wage for each year
3. Part years count pro rata.

The law sets a minimum of three weeks' basic wage for each year of service once you complete one year; your contract may give more. Resigning does not reduce it, but dismissal for serious misconduct under Article 61 can remove it.
