The Easter holidays are one of the holiday periods in several sectors in Mexico; However, every year the question often arises whether workers should receive additional payment for working these days.
It is well known that in some companies and government agencies they give their workers these days off so that they can spend them with family and resting.
However, neither Thursday nor Good Friday are official holidays; That is, they are not covered by the Federal Labor Law, so your employers are not obliged to let you rest this day.
Likewise, you should not be paid triple this day if you work it as you would on an official holiday. For this reason, if they give you the opportunity to rest, take it because you will be paid the same as any other day.
You are not paid more if you work on Holy Saturday or Easter Sunday, but you do receive the Sunday bonus in the case of the latter.
What days are triple paid?
The case of Good Thursday and Good Friday is curious, because although some companies give it, others do not and there is no real obligation to give the day or pay extra, but so that you do not get confused we tell you which day is paid as a holiday.
The Federal Labor Law contemplates a total of nine days in which workers have the right to a mandatory rest or must receive triple their pay, seven occur every year and two every six years:
New Year (January 1) The first Monday of February, as a commemoration of the 5th of this month, the day that celebrates the Anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution of 1917 (this 2024 the date fell during the celebration) The third Monday of March in commemoration of the 21st of the month, in commemoration of the Birth of Benito Juárez (this 2024 fell on the 18th) Labor Day (May 1) Independence Day (September 16) The third Monday of November as a commemoration of the 20th, Day of the Revolution (this 2024 falls on the 18th)Christmas (December 25)
Every six years:
The day determined by the federal and local electoral laws, in the case of ordinary elections, to carry out the election day, that is, the day of the elections, which in 2024 will be June 2. In addition to The 1st. of December each corresponding to the transmission of the Federal Executive Power, that is, each time the President of the Republic changes. However, this year the end of the presidential term will be brought forward so that day will be October 1st.
