Feriado proporcional. Article 73 pays the vacation earned since the last anniversary, and any leave from a completed year not yet taken. The Dirección del Trabajo counts 1.25 working days a month (15 days a year), then counts them on the calendar from the day after your last day, adding the Saturdays, Sundays and holidays that fall in that span. Workers in Magallanes, Aysén and Palena get 20 days a year; change the days if yours differ.
Resignation and other causes. If you resign, agree to leave or your fixed term ends, there is no indemnity and no notice pay: the finiquito is the proportional vacation and any pay still owed.

The indemnización is 30 days of the last monthly pay for each year of service, plus one more year for a fraction above six months, when the employer ends a contract of a year or more for the company's needs. Article 163 caps it at 330 days, or 11 years, and article 172 caps the monthly pay counted at 90 UF.
When the employer ends the contract for the company's needs, or by desahucio, without giving 30 days' written notice. It is then owed one month of the last pay, capped at 90 UF, as an indemnity in lieu of notice. It is paid on top of the years-of-service indemnity, not instead of it.
Divide the 15 working days of a year by 12: 1.25 days for each month since the last anniversary, and 1.25 / 30 for each extra day. Count those days on the calendar from the day after your last day, adding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. The Dirección del Trabajo's example turns 8 months and 2 days into 14.08 days to pay.
If you resign, there is no indemnity for years of service and no notice pay. You are owed the proportional vacation since your last anniversary, any leave from a completed year you did not take, and the days of the last month not yet paid. The employer must have the finiquito ready within 10 working days.
