Frequently asked questions
Who qualifies for severance in Barbados?
Employees with at least two years of continuous service, where employment ends for a qualifying reason such as redundancy, lay-off or short-time, or natural disaster.
How is severance calculated?
Two and a half weeks’ basic pay per year up to 10 years, three weeks per year from 10 to 20, and three and a half weeks per year from 20 to 33, using the 104-week average wage.
What if my employer does not pay severance?
You may apply for compensation through the National Insurance Board, which may cover the payment and recover the amount from the employer.
How much notice am I owed?
One week under 2 years of service, 2 weeks from 2 to 5, 4 weeks from 5 to 10, 6 weeks from 10 to 15, and 10 weeks at 15 years or more.
Can I get the reason for my dismissal in writing?
Yes, if you have at least one year of continuous service. You have the right to a written statement of the reason upon request.
How much do I contribute to NIS?
Eleven per cent of insurable earnings. The employer contributes 12.75% plus a 1.5% Health Service Contribution.
Does NIS pay unemployment benefit?
Yes. Barbados has an unemployment benefit funded through NIS, which many Caribbean systems do not.
How much annual leave do I get?
Three weeks — 15 working days — under five years of service, rising to four weeks or 20 working days at five years or more.
What if I work on a public holiday?
You must receive double your normal hourly rate. Barbados observes approximately 11 gazetted public holidays.
Is Saplic free to use?
Yes. Creating your profile, searching for jobs and applying costs nothing, now or later. There is no app to install either.
