How to separate the right way: The Jamaican Perspective

July 2022EmploymentInvestment

Abstract

For employers and prospective employers, having a clear understanding of the employment law landscape in Jamaica is essential to successfully operating in Jamaica. This understanding involves knowing what the employer’s obligations during employment are and, as is the focus of this paper, knowing what its obligations are at the point of separation of the employee from the employment.
