The Problem
A poorly-worded job posting, an at-will offer letter, or a probation clause longer than 3 months can trigger MINTRAB action, void the contract, or expose the employer to severance + damages. Most templates were drafted under a different framework and quietly violate the Código de Trabajo. HR teams move fast; counsel reviews come too late.
The Solution
Lawra Hiring Review parses any pre-hire document (job posting, offer letter, interview script, onboarding checklist) against the Dominican Código de Trabajo (Arts. 25-50, 75-95), Resolución MINTRAB 13/2020 on non-discrimination, Ley 87-01 SDSS (day-1 TSS enrollment), Ley 16-92 (equal pay), OIT 100/111/159 — with an EU equal-treatment overlay (Directives 2000/78 + 2006/54) for multinational employers. Returns red flags, redlines, and a compliance checklist.
Key Features
Proxy-language detector — flags age/gender/marital-status/photo/buena-presencia requirements that read neutral but violate non-discrimination.
Offer-letter validity scan — probation >3 months, foreign-forum selection, IP-assignment retroactivity, at-will clauses, salary-below-sectoral-minimum.
TSS day-1 + onboarding compliance — verifies enrollment language, registered-payroll references, social-security afiliación articulation.
Multinational EU overlay — Directives 2000/78 + 2006/54 + 2019/1158 mapped against the DR baseline so multinationals see both layers in one pass.
Use Cases

Best For
In-house labor counsel, HR + talent leads at mid-market and large employers, employment-law boutiques, multinational subsidiaries.
