How to Use a variable as filter in caclulate

I am trying to sum all the employees that left between 30 to 365 days.
how can I use the "flag" in the calculate formula?
 
 
# Under 1 year =
var workStartDate=MAX('Employee data for PBI'[Work Start Date])
var workEndDate=MAX('Employee data for PBI'[Final Process Date])
var seniority= DATEDIFF(workStartDate, workEndDate, DAY)
var flag=IF(seniority>=30 && seniority<=365,1,0)
var emps=CALCULATE(SUM('Employee data for PBI'[# Terminated]))
return emps

Hi @Anonymous ,
you can use this measure:

# Under 1 year =
var workStartDate=MAX('Employee data for PBI'[Work Start Date])
var workEndDate=MAX('Employee data for PBI'[Final Process Date])
var seniority= DATEDIFF(workStartDate, workEndDate, DAY)
var flag=IF(seniority>=30 && seniority<=365,1,0)
return CALCULATE(SUM('Employee data for PBI'[# Terminated]),seniority>=30 && seniority<=365)

thanks @Tanushree_Kapse  but when I try what you suggest I'm getting the following error :

 

The True/False expression does not specify a column. Each True/False expressions used as a table filter expression must refer to exactly one column.
