This is how compensation for unjustified dismissal would be, according to the labor reform
The changes proposed by the labor reform depend on the type of employment contract. However, the payment cannot be less than 45 days of salary.
One of the most important points to highlight is that If the worker has more than one year of continuous service and less than five years, he or she will be paid 20 additional days of salary over the basic 45 days.
If the worker has five or more years of continuous service and less than 10 years, he/she must be paid 30 additional days of salary on top of 45 basic days. However, if the worker has 10 or more years of continuous service, he/she will be paid 60 additional days of salary on top of the 45 basic days.
