FAQ
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.
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.
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.
The paid sick leave law, Puerto Rico Act No. 180 of 1998, provides accrual of one day of paid sick leave for each month in which a non-exempt employee works at least 115 hours. Employees who meet this threshold can accrue 12 days of sick leave a year and may rollover unused sick leave, subject to a 15-day cap.
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.
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
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.
As in the United States, the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) applies in Puerto Rico to covered employers engaged in interstate commerce.
Wage and hour coverage in Puerto Rico for non-exempt employees is governed by the US Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) as well as local laws.
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.
