Labor Law

Employment contracts, dismissal, wages, workplace disputes, and labor compliance.

Employment disputes affect livelihoods and business continuity. Contracts, discipline, wages, and dismissal must follow the Labor Code.

We advise both employers and employees — from compliant documents to mediation and court representation.

Illustrative stories below show common flashpoints. Contact VANCATAN with your contract and decisions for case-specific guidance.

Sudden dismissal without a clear process

Sudden dismissal without a clear process

The situation

An employee with years of service was dismissed “for performance” after a short meeting, with little documentation. Severance and unused leave were unpaid. The company insisted the decision was final.

How we approach it

We checked the labor contract, internal rules, disciplinary records, and whether consultation or notice rules were followed. We calculated statutory amounts due and opened dialogue for reinstatement or a negotiated exit package before filing at the competent labor authority or court.

Possible outcome

The employer agreed to a settlement covering unpaid amounts and an enhanced exit package, with a clean reference letter. Both sides avoided a lengthy labor lawsuit.

The situation

A growing company used short template contracts and informal overtime practices. After one dispute, leadership worried that future inspections or claims could expose systemic risk across dozens of staff.

How we approach it

We audited contracts, wage/overtime practices, and draft internal labor rules; rewrote key clauses; and trained HR on lawful termination and documentation so day-to-day decisions matched the Labor Code.

Possible outcome

Updated contract templates and registered internal rules reduced exposure. Later staff exits followed a documented process with far fewer disputes.

Unpaid overtime after resignation

The situation

An employee resigned and discovered months of overtime had never been paid. The employer claimed “package salary” covered everything, but the contract and timesheets told a different story.

How we approach it

We compared the contract, payroll, and timesheets; calculated statutory overtime due; and opened a claim path through dialogue, then labor authorities if needed.

Possible outcome

The company paid a negotiated overtime amount with a release letter. Both sides avoided a formal labor lawsuit.
