===== Employee 1-Year Milestone: Obligations and Recognition =====

This page outlines both legal and cultural practices for recognizing employees who reach one full year of employment.

==== Legal Obligation (Cambodia) ====

Per Prakas No. 443 on Seniority Payments:

  * After 12 months of continuous employment, employees are entitled to seniority indemnity.
  * Standard seniority indemnity is 15 days of wages per year, paid in two installments:
    - 7.5 days in June
    - 7.5 days in December
  * If no installment has been paid during the year, 15 days' wages must be paid upon reaching the 1-year mark.
  * Applies to both fixed and unfixed duration contracts, with some exceptions for probationary or short-term contracts.

==== Internal Practice: 1-Year Recognition ====

To reinforce team cohesion, retention, and culture, the company will implement a lightweight milestone ritual when an employee reaches their 1-year anniversary.

Optional recognition gestures may include:

  * **Verbal Acknowledgment:** Recognition during a team meeting.
  * **Gift:** Company-branded item, small bonus, or token of appreciation (decided by department head).
  * **Development Check-In:** Optional career growth conversation or performance review to align next steps.
  * **Public Mention (Optional):** Highlight in internal newsletter or chat channel if appropriate.

Recognition is coordinated by the employee’s department head and/or HR.

==== Responsibility Matrix ====

^ Task                        ^ Responsible       ^ Timeline                   ^
| Track employment duration   | HR/Admin          | Monthly review             |
| Confirm legal payments      | Accounting        | Within payroll cycle       |
| Coordinate recognition      | Department Head   | Week of 1-year milestone   |
| Conduct dev check-in        | Optional          | Within 2 weeks post-anniv. |

==== Notes ====

This ritual is not contractual and may evolve. It is designed to build culture, not entitlements. Legal obligations are non-negotiable; cultural practices are adaptive.
