Wages for the idle period and non-reinstatement compensation are the main items; the total reaches significant amounts depending on seniority and the process. This math should be part of the pre-termination decision analysis.
The headline figures are set by statute: up to four months’ wages for the idle period, plus non-reinstatement compensation of four to eight months’ salary if you decline to take the employee back — on top of the usual notice and severance. Running that arithmetic before you terminate is what turns a gut decision into an informed one.
