Claiming for an amount

Claiming for an amount is a legal procedure through which workers can demand the payment of amounts owed by their employer. This action may address various aspects, such as unpaid wages, uncompensated overtime or compensation for unjustified dismissal, among other economic concepts.

In general terms, the amount claim is based on the worker’s right to receive fair and adequate compensation for the work performed, as well as on the employer’s compliance with its contractual obligations.

The process generally begins with a direct communication between the worker and the employer, where the payment of the amounts owed is requested. If this channel is not effective, the worker may resort to the legal channel and file a formal lawsuit.

During the process, both parties have the opportunity to present their arguments and evidence before the court, which will issue a judgment that will resolve the conflict and, if favorable to the worker, will order the employer to pay the amounts owed.

Given the complexity of labor proceedings and the importance of complying with the deadlines and legal requirements, we strongly recommend the advice of a lawyer specialized in labor matters.
