What it does

When an employer in Ecuador dismisses a worker without legal cause (despido intempestivo), article 188 of the Labour Code requires three months of salary for up to three years of service and one month per year after that, up to 25 months, with a part year counted as a full year. Article 185 adds the desahucio bonus of 25% of the last monthly salary for each year of service, which is also due when the worker resigns by desahucio. The liquidación also includes unused vacation, the proportional décimo tercero and décimo cuarto and any fondos de reserva owed.

How to use it

  1. Type the last salary and the time worked.
  2. Choose how the job ended and type the vacation days and months for the décimos.
  3. Read the total and each item.
