In plain words

If the company dismisses you because you can't do your job after an illness, because you are not able to do the work, or because circumstances have changed greatly, and it did not give 30 days' written notice in advance, it must pay one more month's wage on top of N. This is the commonly mentioned N+1. When you negotiate, list this one month separately, and don't let the company count it inside N.

When you get a severance payment, check the personal income tax first: the part within 3 times the local average wage for the previous year is tax-free, the rest is taxed separately and not added to the year's pay
