Frequently Asked Questions
What should be included in a contract revocation agreement?
It must define the termination date, the overall compensation amount, the discharge of all labor credits and, if applicable, the conditions for access to unemployment benefit.
What is the deadline to challenge a dismissal?
As a rule, the worker has a period of 60 days to challenge the dismissal judicially, counted from the date of contract termination.
Is telework mandatory if the worker requests it?
Telework can be mandatory in certain situations provided for by law (e.g., victims of domestic violence, workers with children up to 3 years old), but as a rule it requires a written agreement between employer and worker.
What are labor credits upon termination of the contract?
They include the remuneration for the month of termination, proportional vacation and Christmas bonuses for the time worked, and unused vacation.
How does compensation for collective dismissal work?
Compensation is calculated based on the worker's seniority and basic remuneration, following legal formulas that have undergone recent changes. A rigorous analysis of each case is fundamental.
What to do in case of a work accident?
The accident must be immediately reported to the employer, who has a duty to report the occurrence to the respective insurer within the legal timeframe.
