Practice question
A separation-in-lieu award directs one month per credited year using a stipulated P25000 base. The final computation establishes eight credited years; management offers P100000 using a half-month authorized-cause formula instead. Which is correct?
- The specified award yields P200000; the unrelated half-month formula does not replace it
- Every separation award universally uses half a month
- P100000 necessarily complies with any judgment
- The employer may rewrite a final award’s formula
- Credited years are irrelevant
