# EU Employment Calculator MCP MCP > EU Employment Termination Calculator estimates required severance pay for staff separation across Germany, France, Spain, and Portugal. This MCP lets your AI client calculate compensation amounts based on salary and years of service; it also pulls up specific national labor policies or checks if the dismissal type even qualifies for statutory pay. ## Overview - **Category:** finance - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** severance, employment, europe, labor-undermine, calculator, payroll ## Description Ending an employee's contract is rarely straightforward, especially when crossing borders. You need to know exactly what local law demands—and getting it wrong can cost millions. This MCP handles that complexity by giving your agent access to precise calculations for key European labor markets. Instead of cross-referencing multiple government websites or consulting a lawyer just for formulas, you provide the core details (salary, tenure) and get an estimated severance amount right away. For instance, you can ask it to check if a specific dismissal type is even legally eligible for compensation before starting any calculations. When you connect this MCP via Vinkius, your agent accesses a powerful resource that consolidates varied international payroll rules into one place. It’s about knowing the law quickly so your HR team doesn't have to. ## Tools ### calculate_severance Calculates the estimated monetary compensation required when an employee is terminated. ### get_country_policy_summary Retrieves a summary of the specific legal rules that govern employment termination in a chosen country. ### validate_termination_eligibility Checks if the specified type of dismissal meets the legal requirements to trigger compensation payments. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Calculate severance for a German employee with 5 years of service and 3000 EUR monthly salary. ``` **Response:** ``` The `calculate_severance` tool would return an estimated amount based on half a monthly salary for each year of service. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What is the legal policy for France? ``` **Response:** ``` Using `get_country_policy` for FR, you would see the rule regarding one quarter of a monthly salary per year up to 10 years. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Is a dismissal in Spain eligible for compensation? ``` **Response:** ``` The `validate_eligibility` tool would check the dismissal type against Spanish labor laws. ``` ## Capabilities ### Calculate Estimated Severance Pay It estimates the precise monetary compensation needed for an employee separation based on their salary and length of service. ### Retrieve Specific Country Policies Your agent pulls up the exact legal formulas—like maximum payout caps in France or specific rules in Spain—for a given country. ### Verify Termination Eligibility It checks whether the type of dismissal happening actually meets the legal criteria required to trigger statutory severance pay. ## Use Cases ### Offboarding a Long-Term Employee in France The HR manager needs to terminate a 15-year employee. They ask their agent to first run `get_country_policy_summary` for France to check the payout caps, then use `validate_termination_eligibility` to confirm the dismissal is valid, and finally execute `calculate_severance` with all that data to get the final, legally compliant figure. ### Handling a Multi-Country Move An employee moves from Spain to Germany. The payroll specialist uses this MCP to compare termination laws across both countries, running `get_country_policy_summary` for each jurisdiction to ensure the severance payout matches the local requirement. ### Checking a New Termination Scenario A manager suggests a new dismissal type. Instead of guessing, they ask their agent to run `validate_termination_eligibility`. If it fails, the process stops immediately, preventing an improper payout or legal headache. ### Auditing Historical Payoffs The compliance team needs to verify past payouts. They use this MCP's tools to run `calculate_severance` on historical data points, ensuring that the original compensation estimate was accurate based on the rules at the time. ## Benefits - Calculate accurate payouts instantly. Instead of manually figuring out severance, use `calculate_severance` to get an estimate based on salary and years of service for Germany, France, Spain, or Portugal. - Stay compliant with local laws. Use `get_country_policy_summary` to pull up the exact rules—like a national cap—so you know what formula applies before submitting payment details. - Avoid paying for nothing.

Start by telling your agent the employee's details, such as their monthly salary and how many years they worked there. 2. Next, specify which country's law applies to the termination. The MCP will check that jurisdiction against its stored legal rules. 3. The system returns a clear calculation of the estimated pay, along with any relevant policy summaries or eligibility warnings. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How does the calculate_severance tool work for different EU countries?** The `calculate_severance` tool uses stored legal parameters to estimate compensation based on salary, years of service, and the specific country code you provide (DE, FR, ES, PT). It handles the varying formulas automatically. **What if I don't know which formula to use? Should I use get_country_policy_summary first?** Yes. Always run `get_country_policy_summary` first for that country. This retrieves the specific legal rules—like a 10-year cap or salary multiplier—so you aren't using outdated assumptions. **Can I use validate_termination_eligibility before calculating pay?** Absolutely. Running `validate_termination_eligibility` first prevents wasted effort. It confirms if the dismissal type is legally allowed to trigger compensation, stopping the process immediately if it's not. **Is this tool for all EU countries?** No, this MCP focuses on statutory pay calculations for Germany (DE), France (FR), Spain (ES), and Portugal (PT). If your employee is in another market, you'll need a different solution. **If my input data is incomplete, how does the `calculate_severance` tool handle missing parameters?** The tool will immediately return an explicit error message detailing which field is missing or invalid. You must provide salary, years of service, and dismissal type to receive a complete estimate. **Can I use `get_country_policy_summary` for countries outside of Germany, France, Spain, and Portugal?** No. This MCP is strictly limited to the specified key European jurisdictions (DE, FR, ES, PT). For policies in other nations, you must consult a different labor law service. **When I run `validate_termination_eligibility`, does this MCP store my company's private employee data?** No. This MCP processes inputs in real time and does not retain or store any personal identifying information after the calculation is complete. Data handling follows standard privacy protocols. **What is the required format for salaries when using the `calculate_severance` tool?** Salaries must be provided as a numerical value representing gross monthly pay. Always include the correct three-letter currency code alongside the number to ensure accurate calculation.
