Use cases — Labor Law
OKLegal automates the repetitive documents of labor practice, tracks statutes of limitations and organizes severance calculations. Built for firms handling dozens of labor matters simultaneously.
Problems we solve
Advance notice, severance pay, proportional vacation, prorated Christmas bonus, overtime, salary differences. Each item has its own legal formula and a single error can invalidate the entire claim in court.
In Costa Rica the window to file a labor claim is two years from the termination date. A case filed one day late is gone. Tracking this manually with calendars and reminders is an unnecessary risk for any firm.
Termination letters, handover records, labor complaints, conciliation agreements, final settlements. The structure barely changes between cases. Attorneys spend hours on drafting work that should take minutes.
How OKLegal helps
Ready-to-use templates for labor complaints, termination letters, conciliation agreements, final settlements and employment contracts. Case variables — name, salary, start date, reason for termination — populate automatically from the case file.
Enter the termination date and OKLegal calculates the statute of limitations, the filing deadline and all Labor Code procedural terms. Automatic alerts when a deadline is approaching — before it becomes an emergency.
For corporate clients facing group terminations or mass contract renewals: upload a payroll spreadsheet and generate individual termination letters, severance calculations or employment contracts for each person in seconds.
The worker accesses their personal portal to check the status of their claim, review filed documents and receive case updates. Fewer incoming calls asking "how is my case going?" — more time for legal work.
OKLegal's AI copilot analyzes the case facts, identifies the valid claims and suggests procedural strategy — including likely severance amounts. Perfect for a fast initial assessment of a new labor matter before committing to representation.
Workflow
Register the employee and employer data, capture the termination date, salary, working hours and seniority. OKLegal automatically checks whether the statute of limitations is still running.
The AI copilot analyzes the facts and documentation to identify valid claims: advance notice, severance, accrued vacation, prorated Christmas bonus, overtime. You review and adjust before filing.
Generate the labor complaint using Labor Code templates with automatic variables. If settling, draft the settlement agreement and collect digital signatures from both parties in minutes.
Track the enforcement stage, record payments received and invoice your fees. The client follows case status from their portal without needing to call the office.
Why it matters
2 years
is the statute of limitations for labor claims in Costa Rica. A missed deadline means the case is lost before it starts — no exceptions.
12+ items
must be calculated in a standard termination: severance, advance notice, vacation, Christmas bonus, overtime and more. Each has its own legal formula.
55%
of documents in a labor law firm are near-identical variations of previous complaints and settlement agreements. Automation removes that manual burden.
