President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said: "[o]ur nation so richly endowed with natural resources and with a capable and industrious population should be able to devise ways and means of insuring to all our able-bodied working men and women a fair day's pay for a fair day's work." Hence the conception of the old axiom, time is money, work is money. The workplace environment and labor agreements around the nation are predicated upon the same basic concept: work performed must be compensated.

In order to safeguard these basic principles, a series of labor legislation has been enacted for the protection and guarantee of wage and hours claims. Our jurisdiction is no different and contains several of this protection legislation. These include local statutes such as the Puerto Rico Minimum Wage, Vacation and Sick Leave Act, the Working Hours and Days Act, as well as applicable federal legislation such as the Fair Labor Standards Act and its regulations.

Our attorneys are dedicated to providing a wide array of legal counseling and labor litigation management to employers during the last three decades. Now, more than ever, the workplace is everchanging, evolving, adapting itself to the business needs of the 21st century as well as new cultural tendencies and industry standards.

We pride ourselves in providing our clients the most comprehensive and effective legal services without sacrificing timelines, quality and reasonableness.
