What is the procedure to follow if you are asked to work on a holiday?
When you are faced with the situation of being asked to work on a holiday, it is essential to know your employment rights. Mexican legislation, specifically article 73 of the Federal Labor Law, clearly establishes the conditions under which an employee who provides services on a holiday must be compensated.
According to this legal provision, the employer is obliged to pay the worker a double salary for work performed on a holiday. This means that workers are under no obligation to perform their duties on their days off, and if they do, they should be fairly compensated for their extra time and effort.
This legal protection seeks to guarantee that workers are not exploited or have their rest time affected on holidays. In essence, it allows them to make informed decisions about whether they are willing to work on a holiday, knowing that they will receive adequate compensation for doing so.
