Webinar: Navigating Puerto Rico Labor Laws

Join us for an in-depth exploration of Puerto Rico’s labor laws and how they differ from those in the mainland US. This webinar is essential for business owners and investors looking to understand the legal nuances of operating in Puerto Rico.

About the Webinar

Did you realize that the Puerto Rico labor laws are different in many key ways than in the mainland US? They are substantially more labor-friendly than you might expect. If you own or are starting a Puerto Rico business and have employees in PR, it’s very important to understand these key differences.

Join us for an overview of PR labor laws co-hosted with an experienced Puerto Rico labor attorney.  Check our webinar calendar for updated dates and registration links; registration is free.

Some of the key points covered:

  • Puerto Rico labor laws are based on “right to work” rather than the “at will” employment in the mainland.  
  • Employment can begin under a probationary period.
  • Should you need to terminate an employee for cause, it’s important to show a history backing this up.
  • Minimum paid vacations, sick leave, and government holidays are dictated by law.
  • A small annual Christmas bonus is mandatory for most employees.

Puerto Rico Tax Changes

Time-Sensitive Tax Reform Updates

The Puerto Rico Governor has just signed a new law that will amend the terms of the Act 60 Investor program.  We have learned that this will raise the Investor tax rate for Puerto Rico-sourced short and long-term capital gains, dividends, and interest to 4% from the current 0%.

This change applies to all new Investor applications received after December 31, 2026.  For those who wish to apply before then to lock in the 0% terms, that option is still available.

Upcoming webinars will discuss this new law change as well as recent clarifications published.  See our webinar schedule here.

We will be publishing more details here as we receive them.  If you wish to join our mailing list to be notified of changes like this, please provide your details below or email us at info@PRAdvantage.com.  Or, click here to schedule a free consult today.
