Dear Clients and Friends:

These holidays are applicable to both public and private sector workers, with only home-based workers and workers whose salaries have been stipulated by commission or piecework, by adjustment or flat price, being excluded from enjoying the holiday.

If these days off coincide and fall within the vacation period stipulated for the workplace, they will not extend the duration of the aforementioned vacation.

The work centers that work on the aforementioned days must pay an extraordinary salary made up of the ordinary salary plus a surcharge of 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.
