13th and 14th salary bonuses
The 13th salary bonus is one twelfth of what you earned; if your pay varied, use the average for the period.
From 0 to 12. Count the months of each bonus period you are entitled to.
- 13th salary bonus Paid by December 24.
- $0.00
- 14th salary bonus Paid by March 15. Paid by August 15.
- $0.00
- 14th salary bonus: one unified basic wage (USD 482.00 in 2026) per year, or USD 40.17 for each month worked.
- The 13th salary bonus can be paid monthly on the payslip or as a lump sum by December 24.
- The 13th salary bonus does not count towards IESS contributions, vacation pay or compensation.
- The exact months of each period are set by current rules: confirm them with your employer or the Ministry of Labour.
Final settlement when the job ends
That is 15 days per year, plus one day for each year from the sixth (up to 15 extra). The current year is calculated separately.

How it is calculated
- Notice bonus: 25 % of the last monthly pay for each full year of service. It is also paid when the contract ends by mutual agreement.
- Unfair dismissal: up to 3 years of service, 3 months of pay; beyond that, one month per year, up to 25. A part year counts as a full year, and it is added to the notice bonus.
- Vacation: 1/24 of what you earned; the current year is estimated from your last monthly pay since your last work anniversary.
- It does not include unpaid salary, overtime, the reserve fund or profit sharing.
This is a rough estimate, not a legal document.
The final settlement record (acta de finiquito) is legalised at the Ministry of Labour. Special cases (pregnancy, union leaders, people with disabilities) carry extra compensation: talk to a lawyer.
Data reviewed on November 8, 2026 against these rules. This is a guide: confirm your case with the Ministry of Labour or a lawyer.
