Employment Law in Puerto Rico

Magestry33010

I need help or maybe just direction. I have picked up the region of Puerto Rico and learning the different laws of that area. I need to know the guidelines, if there are any, or any laws that may or may not exist when discussing suspension of employment. When are we allowed to suspend? Do we have to give notice? Must we follow a progression discipline process? Can we suspend without pay if they are exempt? Can we suspend for investigations, violations of safety policies, etc...

If anyone out there is familiar with the Puerto Rico Policy, please direct me to where I can find specifics on these laws.

Call the Department of Labor - they may have a booklet that they can send to you.

I have the name of an attorney in PR that helped our Agency establish a business office with employees just recently. It is very tricky and he was most helpful.

Please email me if you'd like his information

Talking about entirely off the wall unrelated comments, my mother and daddy were married in Puerto Rico back in the 40s when he was in the Army Air Corps. She flew down there, married him, and came back home with a pet monkey. Several years later, they had me, yet another pet monkey.
