Section 403 of PROMESA modified Section 6(g) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to allow employers to pay employees in Puerto Rico who are under the age of 25 years a subminimum wage of not less than $4.25 per hour for the first 90 consecutive calendar days after initial employment by their employer.
From a tax perspective, the IRS views traditional severance payments as supplemental wages because they are not a payment for services. Severance paid to employees in a lump sum, unrelated to state unemployment benefits, is taxable as wages for both income-tax withholding and FICA purposes.
Yes, severance pay is taxable in the year that you receive it. Your employer will include this amount on your Form W-2 and will withhold appropriate federal and state taxes.
Puerto Rico is not an 'employment at will' jurisdiction. Thus, an indefinite-term employee discharged without just cause is entitled to receive a statutory discharge indemnity (or severance payment) based on the length of service and a statutory formula.
Puerto Rico is not an employment-at-will jurisdiction. However, employers are allowed to terminate employees at will during an initial probationary period. The probationary period in Puerto Rico used to be limited to ninety (90) days, provided the agreement was in writing.
Employment law in Puerto Rico is covered both by U.S. labor law and Puerto Rico's Constitution, which affirms the right of employees to choose their occupation, to have a reasonable minimum salary, a regular workday not exceeding eight hours, and to receive overtime compensation for work beyond eight hours.
Even though you may be covered by these laws, your employee may not be. Title VII and the ADA protect any U.S. citizen employed outside of the United States, absent any conflict with foreign law (not a foreign practice, policy, custom or preference) or employed in the U.S. by a foreign employer.
Severance payments These payments are not subject to Puerto Rico income tax withholding at source, as provided by Section 1062.01 of the PR Code, and are currently reported as exempt salaries in Form 499R-2W-2PR - Withholding Statement.
From an employment law perspective, this means federal statutes such as Title VII, FLSA, ADA, ADEA, FMLA, USERRA, OSHA, ERISA, COBRA, among others, apply to Puerto Rico. For stateside employers, that is the easy part.
