Mario Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 What is my obligation as far as firing a gardner? How much severance pay is required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Severance pay depends upon how long he has worked for you and how much pay he receives. Go to rollybrook.com to get the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 The other method is to supervise his work and constantly give him orders. Need a deep hole here to plant a tree. Deeper..deeper. Changed my mind fill it in etc. I don't need you to water. I need you for the hard work. Make him hate the job so much he quits. Then have him sign a resignation letter. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 That's how a Mexican would do it...but...unless you know he has been actually dishonest, say stealing from you but you can't quite prove it, I would not suggest that method. You never know what connections he might have. Unless he's been with you since Christ was a corporal, the amount of severance won't kill you. Let your conscience be your guide.

Mario Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 I do realize his compensation is dependent on how long and how much he is paid. So what is the rule for determining his severance amount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then have him sign a resignation letter. This is exactly what happened to Rosa y Lupe who had worked at the Vivero across from the Laguna Centro on the libramiento for over 20 years as managers. When the American owner passed last year, the Mexican son-in-law inherited the property and told them to go dig a hole to plant a 15 yr old palm tree. Yeah sure. In the end they were terminated and paid a few pesitos on their pension. Rosa had worked 7 days a week with only two holidays a year, Easter and Christmas. Lupe, her sister, had one day a week off, Thursday and then two holidays each year. The new owner inherited millions but greed knows no bounds. Does not matter Mexican or expat, I have known expats who have done the same. In my mind, there is no right way to do the wrong thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not matter Mexican or expat, I have known expats who have done the same. In my mind, there is no right way to do the wrong thing. When the sale was done, the old owners and/or their heirs had to terminate all employees and pay severance or the Notario should not have blessed the deal and the new owners had no obligation to retain any employees. If the new owner had an attorney, which everyone involved in that type of transaction should have, there certainly would have been due diligence done. When we sold our BnB that's what was done and our employees got their proper severance and the new owners got to decide if they wanted to offer jobs to any of them. If all they got were a few pesitos it's because they had already collected their big severance and lasted only a short time with the new owner. That exact scenario played out with one of our old employees who decided to work for the new Mexican owner. After a couple of months of ironing bed sheets every day, as mandated by the new owner, she decided to quit. The other workers never even gave a thought to working after the sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiko Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 In the case of the vivero, it was an inheritance not a sale. I don't know how the law compares that to a sale. There were lawyers involved and the sisters did receive something. I do not know if the property has since been sold by the heirs. I just know the son in law tried his best to force them to quit but that did not work out for him. I also have always paid at closings as required by law.

slainte39 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 An inheritance is a change of ownership. The above mentioned parties have opened their own vivero in upper Ajijic since leaving Flora Exotica. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 Habe no doubt. If they had been receiving seguro as a full time employee for 20 years they are entitled to severance pay. Also they have 20 years credit on SS retirement from Mexico. Any atty could get it for them quickly. If they were off the books and not an employee it will be difficult.

Mostlylost Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Why are you attacking me?... Nothing better to do? If you have a bad employee or a thief I offered the method my Mexican relatives use. You can handle employees as you like. And you can also ignore my posts if you don't like them.

Que tienes buen dia. The OP did not say he wanted to fire an employee who was bad or a thief. He said only he wished to fire him. The solution you offered was to abuse the employee until he quit. Glo merely asked why you were advising people to do that. It is not as though you think the method is illegal or immoral and can be used to cheat employees out of what is owed them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Que tienes buen dia. Nice bunch of relatives!! I would say that is a minority (Mexican) solution. Most pay the severance and there are governmental agencies that will help employees collect from patrones, who are that driven to avoid payment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Pile on. Abuse me. Make yourselves superior. Que bueno. Insult my family. That's not personal. You are all saints. Milagro de Dios. Possibly there are employees who cheat, steal, etc. So....Yes give them a reward. You are all the best. WOW. ustedes son los mejores del mundo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slainte39 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 You stated your opinion of how to do it, and I stated mine. Now what´s the problem? I don´t know anything about your family to insult them OTHER THAN what you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
