Program Description
On January 26, 2017, the Governor of Puerto Rico, Ricardo Rosselló-Nevares, signed the Labor Transformation and Flexibility Act (“LTFA”). The LTFA is a comprehensive labor and employment reform applicable to private employers in Puerto Rico that extends to hiring and termination practices, wage and hour provisions, and operating hours.
