P.R. Laws tit. 32, § 3133
In actions for wages under labor legislation in force a preventive attachment may be effected, without the requirement of furnishing a bond, on the property of the defendant, in an amount sufficient to guarantee the effectiveness of the judgment which at the proper time may be obtained when, in the judgment of the court where the action is pending, the complaint adduces facts sufficient for a cause of action in favor of the plaintiff and there are well-founded grounds for fearing, after a hearing to that effect, that if such preventive attachment is not effected immediately, the judgment which may be obtained would be academic because there would be no property on which to execute it. The court may also order, in substitution or addition to the attachment, any other means which it deems appropriate, according to the circumstances of the case, to guarantee the effectiveness of the judgment which may be obtained; Provided, That the defendant may prevent or release the attachment by furnishing a bond sufficient to the satisfaction of the court.
