As the Law Firm of Attorney Arb. Billur Güler Aslım, we are a team specialized in labor law in Antalya. In disputes between employers and employees, it is of great importance to obtain accurate and reliable results, especially in compensation calculations. In this article, we will discuss in detail the importance and functioning of the actuarial report in workers' compensation calculations.
What is an Actuarial Report and Why is it Important?
An actuarial report is a type of report prepared by an expert actuary in order to reduce the potential future financial liabilities to their present value. In workers' compensation cases, especially for long-term workers, the calculation of severance pay, notice pay and other types of compensation is a complex process. This complexity requires the correct calculation of the present value of future payments. An actuarial report provides a reliable data source for the parties involved in the case by performing these calculations with a scientific and objective method. An accurate actuarial report helps determine a fair and equitable compensation amount for both the employer and the employee. An incorrect or incomplete calculation can lead to significant financial losses for the parties.
Contents of Actuarial Report
An actuarial report typically includes the following information:
Employee Information:
* The employee's employment start date and departure date
* Employee's salary and other wage information (bonus, bonus, etc.)
* The employee's working hours and working type (full-time, part-time, etc.)
* Summary of employee social security information
Compensation Types and Calculations:
* Severance pay calculation (according to the law and contract)
* Calculation of severance pay (according to the law and contract)
* Overtime pay calculation (if any)
* Annual leave payment calculation (if applicable)
* Calculation of other types of compensation (if any, e.g. non-pecuniary damages)
Discounting Future Payments to Present Value:
* The present value of future payments is calculated by taking into account inflation and interest rates. This calculation is vital to determine the present value of amounts to be paid in future years.
Conclusions and Evaluation of the Report:
* At the end of the report, the total amount of compensation calculated and a detailed breakdown of this amount are presented.
* The report includes explanations about the assumptions and calculation methods used.
Use of Actuarial Reports in Courts
Actuarial reports are considered important evidence by the courts in workers’ compensation cases. An objective and scientific method of preparing the report helps the court to make a fair decision. An accurate and comprehensive actuarial report can help to conclude the case faster and prevent unnecessary prolongation. On the contrary, an incomplete or incorrect report can lead to delays in the case and more disagreements between the parties.
