Summary/Abstract: Among the benefits payable by the employer upon termination of employment, one payment stands out, which raises a number of problems: the so-called „gratification compensation” under Art. 222, para. 3 LC. Legal theory argues that it has its social significance as an expression of gratitude for the long-standing work and loyalty of the employee. Therefore, its size is differentiated depending on the previous work experience with the same employer. Of course, the stated social meaning of the compensation should not be absolutized. Whether the employee has been loyal in his job and whether the employer owes him „gratitude“ are questions that can look very different in different situations in life. The study focuses on a number of practical problems related to the said compensation and seeks to make suggestions for how to overcome them.
