Long Service/Severance Payment Report (before the transition date)

Long Service/Severance Payment Report is under Master ⇒ Master Reports.

This report is for reporting the long service/severance payment liable to the employer before the transition date (2025/05/01). Starting from this date, employers can no longer use the accrued benefits derived from their mandatory MPF contributions to offset an employee’s LSP/SP.

The calculation of LSP/SP is a rough estimation for regular pay employees. Due to the complicity of LSP/SP for different types of employees, users should use the data for reference only.
