When an employer in the Dominican Republic ends an open-ended contract without giving a cause (desahucio), the Código de Trabajo fixes what it owes. This page adds up each part from the salary and the two dates.
The daily salary. The Code's regulation divides a monthly salary by 23.83 to get the daily salary used for notice, cesantía and vacation, so every "day" below is worth the monthly salary divided by 23.83.
On any ending. Vacation not taken: 14 working days a year, 18 after five years, and from 6 to 12 days for a part year over five months (articles 177 to 182). The salario de Navidad in proportion to the year worked, never more than five minimum wages (articles 219 and 220). A resignation gets these lines only.
The rest of the article, and all 6 questions about Dominican Republic Prestaciones Laborales Calculator, are on the Dominican Republic Prestaciones Laborales Calculator page.
Add the preaviso of article 76 (7, 14 or 28 days), the auxilio de cesantía of article 80, the vacation not taken and the proportional salario de Navidad. Each day is the average monthly salary divided by 23.83, as the Code's regulation sets.
Six days after three to six months of work, 13 days up to a year, 21 days per year of service from one to five years, and 23 days per year from five years on. A remainder of more than three months adds 6 days, or 13 days when it is over six months.
Articles 14 and 32 of Reglamento 258-93, as modified by Decreto 565-99, turn a monthly salary into a daily one by dividing it by 23.83. Article 14 sets it for notice and cesantía, article 32 for vacation pay, so every day on this page is worth the monthly salary divided by 23.83.
A resignation brings no preaviso and no cesantía: those are owed only when the employer ends the contract, or when a court finds your resignation justified (dimisión). You still receive the vacation not taken and the salario de Navidad in proportion to the months worked in the year.
