OK Rocky, but I will post confirmation here, as well as information on some other points mentioned.
First: Libro I, Title VII, Capitulo III, Article 85: Cesantia and preaviso will be calculated based on the average salary received for the previous year, or fraction of year, and is calculated based on regular hours (if overtime was worked, and paid, it is NOT included in this calculation. If the employee is being fired, the same calculation is used.)
Second: Under Libro III, Capitulo II, title V, Article 203 - The normal workweek is 44 hours, with no more than 8 hours per day, and the normal workweek ends at 12:00 Saturday. Hours worked between 44 up to 78 hours per week are to be paid at no less than 135% of regular payrate. Over 78 hours per week are to be paid at 200% of regular payrate.
Holiday pay is at 200%. Nighttime work (between 9pm and 7 am) are to be paid at no less than 115% of daytime rate.
8 hours per day is considered regular workhours. Lunch taken at the workplace is considered to be for the employers convenience, and is "on the clock". This means that if an employee works from 9 am to 6 pm, eats at the workplace, they should receive 1 hour of Overtime each day as well. (Libro III, Capitulo I, Article 151, 3rd point.)
Hope this helps.
