Add Comment Question: I have employed a person as a caretaker for my property and my rural residence for the past 28 years. He has received a salary plus free accommodation during the employment. He is 68 years old and told me he wanted to work until he was 70, but just recently gave me his letter of resignation effective end July. What severance am I obligated to pay him? Answer: Since he is resigning, you are not required to pay him any severance. Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
