Marval Legal Pulse – Payment of a Judgment in Installments

A new episode of Marval Legal Pulse is now available, in which we analyze the amendment introduced by the Labor Modernization Act to Article 277 of the Employment Contract Act, which provides for the option to pay certain labor court judgments in installments.

In this episode, our partner Guillermo Osorio and our associate Jazmín Eroles, from the Labor Law practice group, discuss the scope of this tool, the requirements for applying it, and the debates it has sparked since it took effect.

During the episode, they address:

• the differences between the payment of severance pay and the payment of a court judgment,
• the new installment payment regime established for labor judgments,
• the applicable deadlines depending on the type of employer,
• the adjustment mechanisms that must be applied to the installments,
• the scope of the employer’s authority to opt into the regime,
• the challenges raised by workers and courts,
• the judicial criteria that are beginning to emerge regarding its temporary application.
   

This is a key analysis for understanding one of the most widely discussed changes in the labor reform, its practical implications for companies and workers, and the challenges posed by its implementation in the judicial sphere.

We invite you to watch the full episode and learn more about these developments on our website.
