The Problem
A bad termination is the single most expensive labor error. Desahucio without proper preaviso pays everything. Despido without justa causa converts to desahucio + daños. Dimisión justificada from the worker side pays full prestaciones. The Código de Trabajo Arts. 75-95 spell out the rules; getting them wrong costs 6+ months of salary per employee.
The Solution
Lawra Termination Review parses a termination letter or severance package against the Código de Trabajo Arts. 75-95, verifies which modality applies (desahucio / despido justa causa / dimisión justificada / mutuo acuerdo), calculates the full prestaciones (preaviso + cesantía + vacaciones + regalía + bonificación proporcionales), and flags wrongful-termination exposure with the corresponding cure language.
Key Features
Modality verification — distinguishes desahucio / despido justa causa / despido injustificado / dimisión justificada / mutuo acuerdo and applies the correct formula.
Full prestaciones calculator — preaviso (Art. 76), cesantía (Art. 80), vacaciones + regalía + bonificación proporcionales, plus any owed salary.
Wrongful-termination flag — identifies despido-injustificado risk, MINTRAB 48-hour notification compliance, and the financial exposure if the Tribunal de Trabajo reclassifies.
Multilingual + cross-border — handles US-style at-will language imported into DR contracts, French/UK foreign-forum carve-outs, all collapsed back to the DR labor baseline.
Use Cases
In-house counsel reviews a draft termination letter for an executive being let go — caught the missing preaviso payment that would have converted it to despido injustificado.
Labor lawyer drafting prestaciones for a 50-employee restructuring — full company-wide breakdown in 90 minutes instead of 2 days.
Worker-side advocate evaluating an employer settlement offer — gets the conservative + aggressive valuation side by side.
