Attorney Juan Carlos Manzano Trujillo defends employee rights and provides labor consulting to businesses in Puerto Rico. He knows the system from both sides.
We represent employees and advise businesses with effective and strategic legal solutions.
If you were terminated without just cause, you are entitled to severance pay known as "mesada." We represent you to ensure you receive what you deserve.
We defend employees in situations of discrimination, retaliation, harassment and violations of their labor rights under Puerto Rico and federal laws.
We help small and medium businesses structure their labor operations to comply with state and federal laws before problems arise.
Severance pay is the economic compensation you are entitled to receive if you were wrongfully terminated. The amount depends on your years of service, salary and the date you started working.
| Years of service | Compensation |
|---|---|
| 0 – 5 years | 2 months + 1 week per year |
| 5 – 15 years | 3 months + 2 weeks per year |
| 15 years or more | 6 months + 3 weeks per year |
| Years of service | Compensation |
|---|---|
| 0 – 15 years | 3 months + 2 weeks per year |
| 15 years or more | 6 months + 3 weeks per year |
