Accordingly, at the end of the contract, the employer pays a lump sum to the worker. In this article, the legal nature and function of severance pay was examined by descriptive-analytic method and it recognized that the nature of this legal entity is not applicable to any existing legal entities and this institution is of a special and independent nature and its specific task is to help provide job security for workers and provide them with financial support in the event of unemployment.
