National holidays in El Salvador, in May 2019

Dear Clients and Friends:

ROMERO PINEDA & ASOCIADOS reminds you that in accordance with Salvadoran legislation, paid leave is established on May 1 of each year for the celebration of “Labor Day”, as well as on May 10 of each year in commemoration of « Mother's Day". Both holidays are applicable to both public and private sector workers.

Work centers that work on any of these days must pay an extraordinary salary made up of the ordinary salary plus a surcharge from the latter's 100%. Likewise, if they work overtime or work at night, the calculation for the payment of the surcharges will be made based on the aforementioned extraordinary salary.

For more information and legal assistance, please contact Beatriz Merino, Labor Unit Coordinator at (503) 2505-5555 or email bmerino@romeropineda.com.

It will be a pleasure for us to serve you.
