Frequently asked questions
What is the deadline for paying employment benefits after termination?+
Official guidance from Bolivia’s Ministry of Labor states that, once the employment relationship ends, the employer must pay the applicable social benefits within 15 calendar days. Failure to do so may trigger a 30% surcharge on the total amount due under Supreme Decree No. 28699 and related rules.
Must the final settlement be endorsed by the Ministry of Labor?+
The Ministry’s guidance states that the finiquito should be endorsed by the Ministry. The actual settlement depends on the form of termination, length of service, outstanding items and other circumstances of the employment relationship.
Does every termination produce exactly the same payment items?+
No. The items depend on whether the case involves dismissal, voluntary resignation, justified cause or another situation, as well as length of service and accrued rights. The facts and documents should be reviewed before calculating a settlement.
Why are dates and communications important?+
In employment matters, the dates of hiring, termination, notice, payment and communications may affect rights, deadlines and risk. A documented chronology allows for a more accurate assessment.
Official procedures and requirements can change. They should be verified when the filing begins.
