Hi everyone
I have just recently given an employee his 28 days notice and went to calculate his severence pay with the Secreteria de Trabajo in Higuey and got my lovely piece of paper saying how much i owed the employee, no problem.
A few days later the employee came to me with another piece of paper from the Secreteria in Santo Domingo with an amount 20,000 higher based on the same information.
Now firstly i find it strange that one SET can give a completly different answer than another based on the same details, as they all just pop them into the computer and bish bash bosh up comes the answer.
I said to the employee "No problem i will query on monday and let him know", well he started getting all upset and had to be asked kindly to leave the office.
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this issue. I dont know if Santo Domingo overides all other branches or as we are based and work out of Higuey it is the Higuey office that we listen to.
Hate it when this liquidation stuff gets out of hand, just wanted to pay the guy what i owe him and part on good terms.
Any help would be appreciated.
