Calculate deductibility of costs of transitional allowance?

To calculate the amount of the transition al allowance, you will have to calculate the basic salary. To do this, you will take the full salary (i.e. without discount due to illness). You will also have to include the fixed and variable wage components to calculate the full monthly salary. The end date is the date the obligation to continue payment of wages ceases (104 weeks after the first day of illness) when the employee requests the termination and the actual date when the employer requests the dismissal. You can calculate the transitional allowance after 2 years of illness using the calculation tool: ‘calculate transitional allowance‘.
