# Severance Pay Calculator MCP

> The Severance Pay Calculator MCP handles precise employee termination math. It computes the full payout package, including final salary balances, proportional 13th-month bonuses, and vacation entitlements. Critically, it determines statutory penalties—like the FGTS multiplier—based on whether the separation was due to cause or a mutual agreement. This tool eliminates manual calculations, ensuring payroll compliance when an employee leaves.

## Capabilities

### Determine final salary and bonus amounts
It calculates the remaining earned salary balance alongside proportional 13th-month bonuses.

### Calculate vacation payouts
The system determines the total value for both expired and proportionally accrued vacation time, including mandatory supplements.

### Apply statutory penalties
It calculates specific financial penalties based on the legal nature of the termination (e.g., without cause vs. resignation).

## Use Cases

### Handling a termination without cause
The HR Manager needs to calculate a payout for an employee terminated without cause. They prompt their agent, which uses `calculate_statutory_penalties` and then feeds that result into the salary tools, providing a single total package figure immediately.

### Processing a resignation with complex leave
A Payroll Specialist needs to process a resignation. They use the MCP to first run `calculate_vacation_payout` for years of accrued time off, then use `compute_salary_balance_and_bonuses` for the final month's pay and proportional bonuses.

### Verifying legal payouts for an agreement
A financial analyst needs to verify a payout based on a mutual agreement. They run the full sequence of calculations, including `calculate_statutory_penalties`, ensuring the final amount is perfectly balanced across all components.

## Benefits

- Avoid legal risk by automating penalty determination. The ability to calculate statutory penalties using `calculate_statutory_penalties` ensures you never miss a mandatory multiplier based on the separation type.
- Get full visibility into accrued time off. Instead of guessing, use `calculate_vacation_payout` to get an accurate total for both expired and proportional vacation bonuses, including all required supplements.
- Simplify bonus tracking. The `compute_salary_balance_and_bonuses` tool combines the final salary calculation with the complex math of proportional 13th-month pay in one step.
- Save payroll time. Combine all three calculations—salary/bonuses, vacation, and penalties—to generate a single, trustworthy payout report instantly, rather than cross-referencing three different spreadsheets.
- Increase compliance confidence. By structuring the calculation around specific separation types (like 'without cause'), your agent provides results that match legal expectations.

## How It Works

The bottom line is that you get one definitive, legally compliant number for the total severance package.

1. Input core employee data, including salary rates and time worked in the current period.
2. Specify the exact reason for separation—such as 'without cause' or 'agreement'—to determine applicable penalties.
3. The MCP runs all three calculations (salary/bonuses, vacation, penalties) and compiles a single, comprehensive payout report.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does Severance Pay Calculator handle different termination reasons?**
The MCP uses `calculate_statutory_penalties` to determine the correct mandatory financial penalty. You simply select the separation type (e.g., resignation or without cause), and it applies the right multiplier.

**Can I calculate just the vacation payout with Severance Pay Calculator?**
Yes, you can run `calculate_vacation_payout` independently to get an accurate total for all expired and proportional leave time. This tool includes mandatory supplements.

**Does the Severance Pay Calculator account for 13th-month bonuses?**
Absolutely. The `compute_salary_balance_and_bonuses` function ensures that proportional 13th-month bonuses are correctly added to the final salary balance calculation.

**What if I change employee data midway through using Severance Pay Calculator?**
You just update the core employee inputs (salary/days worked) and run the MCP again. It recalculates all components—bonuses, vacation, and penalties—based on the new data.

**Is this only for salary calculations or does it handle bonuses too?**
It handles both. The dedicated `compute_salary_balance_and_bonuses` tool ensures that proportional 13th-month pay is included alongside the final monthly salary balance.
