We had a gardener for a number of years who was good in the beginning but slowly tapered off to the point he only showed up a couple days before the end of the month and wasn't very responsive to doing the things he was asked to do. Wouldn't go on the payroll and wanted cash....etc, because he actually had a fulltime job working on a rich guys villa/fincita . He was also insulting to the administrative staff. When Covid came around my told him he was no longer required because he wasn't showing up anyway. He went to the labour board and told them a sob story that was completely made up and they told my wife she had to pay him eight years liquidation. She was able to prove that he was only part time, paid in cash ...etc, and he got a much reduced payout. The labour people will always side with the employee so as an employer you have to record everything, make them sign ab contract....etc, otherwise you are screwed.I don't think that matters
NO... you have to pay the severance payDoes it make any difference if the Haitian is legal or illegal.
Hi Everyone,
I have a question about a worker that I had working for me until today. I’m in American tourist here on vacation and I had a Haitian guy working on my land just taking care of the grass and pulling out the weeds and things like that. He worked for me for about 4 1/2 years I paid him in cash each week equivalent of 500 pesos a day or 12,000 pesos a month. He worked 5 hours a day. We are located in Las Terennas and Samana. Anyway we never had any kind of contract ..never anything in writing ever ..and now we have agreed that he’s going to stop working for me. He went to the office of the workers and gave me a paper saying that I have to pay him a liquidation fee which is like unemployment i

The document itself says that these calculations have been made upon information from the interested party, and that they're not imposable to the other party or to the judge, so this sum is like a guideline. People often would rather negotiate to avoid the hassle of going to court.
Paying them was never in question, I'd like to know how much they're entitled to legally & in the eyes of the labor law..Pay them. It's the right thing to do.

So for Domestic workers -
The Labor Office WILL NOT GUIDE YOU !!!! THEY WILL TAKE THE SIDE OF YOUR EMPLOYEE AND MAKE YOU PAY THE MAX !!!!

What if its a freelancer ? You have to instruct the person what to do and there will be some degree of supervision.Any relationship in which one person obliges himself or herself to provide any form of service to another in exchange for remuneration and under the direction or supervision of the latter is considered to be an employment contract and, as such, subject to the provisions of the Labor Code. Employment contracts may be verbal or written.
