FAQ
Puerto Rico has enacted the Minimum Wage Act, Act No. 47-2021, increasing the Island's minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 effective January 1, 2022.
The Puerto Rico Working Mother's Act provides a minimum of 8 weeks of paid leave to women who experience pregnancy. The act provides full pay and benefits so employers must continue to provide employees who take maternity leave with full benefits and pay.
Normal Working Hours The regular work shift for non-exempt employees is 8 hours per day and a regular workweek of 40 hours per week. The workweek will begin on the day and time that the employer determines and so the employer will notify the employee in writing.
Section 29 CFR 825.105(b) of the FMLA regulations states that the FMLA applies only to employees who are employed within any State of the United States, the District of Columbia or any Territory or possession of the United States. Territories or possessions of the United States include Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands
Senate Bill 1524 also would revert the minimum vacation leave accrual for all eligible employees to 1.25 days per month, for a total of 15 days per year (currently, depending on years of service, an employee can accrue from five to 15 days a year).
Nope. With the exception of Title VII, ADA and ADEA, employment laws do not apply to U.S. citizens working outside the country, even if they are working for an American company. So, a U.S. national loses FMLA protection once he steps off U.S. soil.
2.3 Working Hours. According to Puerto Rico Act Number 379 of (Law No 379), which covers non-exempt (hourly) employees, eight hours of work constitutes a regular working day in Puerto Rico and 40 hours of work constitutes a workweek. Working hours exceeding these minimums must be compensated as overtime.
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.
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.
