How much should I be paid if I work on Monday, September 16?
According to Article 75 of the Federal Labor Law, both employers and employees must determine the number of workers who must provide their services on the holiday.
Workers who must report to work on a regular basis will have the right to receive, independently of the salary that corresponds to them for the mandatory rest, a double salary for the service provided, that is, a triple salary.
For example, if a person earns 500 pesos daily, then they should receive 1,500 pesos for working on Monday, September 16.
What if they don’t want to pay me as the law requires?
In the event that you work on a holiday and it is not covered as dictated by the LFT, the Federal Labor Defense Attorney’s Office makes available to you the telephone numbers 01800 911 7877 and 01 800 717 2942 for the entire Republic or write to the email [email protected] where they will provide you with guidance free of charge.
