This study aims to determine premium rate of severance payment and to illustrate the accounting records in the framework of Legislation draft and Generally Accepted Accounting Principals. The premium rate of severance payment was estimated by using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method with several scenarios. The results show that the appropriate rate for both sides (employees and employers) is the rate around 6%.
