FAQ Section Labor Lawyer in Paraguay

How is severance pay calculated in Paraguay?

A: In case of unjustified dismissal, you are entitled to 15 daily wages for every year of service, plus the “Preaviso” (Notice Period) if applicable, and proportional vacation and 13th-month pay (Aguinaldo). We perform the exact calculation to ensure you get paid every Guaraní.

What should I do if I am fired verbally?

Do not leave the premises without a written document. If they refuse to give one, go immediately to the nearest Police Station or the Ministry of Labor to file a report. This proves you didn’t abandon your job. Contact us immediately to file the claim.

Can I hire foreign employees in my Paraguayan company?

Yes, but they must have valid residency and work permits. Also, the law states that a certain percentage of your workforce must be Paraguayan nationals. We advise on the correct immigration and labor structuring for expats.

How long does a labor lawsuit take in Paraguay?

A labor trial can take anywhere from 1 to 3 years depending on the complexity and court backlog. However, we prioritize negotiation at the Ministry of Labor (Administrative Phase) to achieve a faster settlement (usually within 1-2 months) and avoid long litigation.a forzar su renuncia.
