One of the matters not specifically addressed by Law No. 21,643 (known as the Karin Law) is whether or not an employee can withdraw a complaint filed for sexual harassment, mobbing, or workplace violence. This has led employers to question how to respond to a complainant’s withdrawal of a complaint in the context of an internal investigation.
On August 4, 2025, the Labor Authority (Dirección del Trabajo) clarified that workers can withdraw their complaints, provided that such withdrawal is registered in writing in a manner that clearly reflects the person’s intent.
