A new weekend long is coming From Thursday, June 29 to Sunday, July 2, thousands of workers will be able to take a break or carry out recreational activities that take them away from the work routine. The holiday for employees of the public and private sector is due to the commemoration of the Catholic festivity of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. On Friday the 30th, upon being decreed by the Government As a non-working day, employees have the option to rest, but with a charge to make up the hours in subsequent days.
Both dates come together with Saturday, July 1 and Sunday, July 2, which form a long weekend so that the population has the possibility of doing internal tourism, a sector that promotes the economic revival.
What is a calendar holiday and how much should you be paid?
Calendar holidays are paid breaks that are not compensated and that allow the employee to receive triple salary if he works that day. The only date with these characteristics —of the entire long weekend of this month— is June 29, so if a person works on June 30 or July 1 and 2, they will not receive extra pay.
Unlike non-working days (June 30), the hours not worked are compensated in the 10 days immediately after, or at the time established by the head of each public or private entity.
The National Superintendence of Labor Inspection (Sunafil) explains that, if you work in person or remotely on a holiday, you must receive two additional daily wages to your total salary for the month.
How is pay calculated for a holiday worked?
In the event that your monthly remuneration is the minimum wage (S/1,025), the daily payment that corresponds to you is S/34.17. This results from dividing your salary by 30 days. By knowing how much you earn daily, you can calculate how much you would receive if you worked.
- A remuneration for the work done: S/34.17.
- A remuneration for the surcharge of 100%: S/ 34.17.
In total, it would be S/68.34 for each holiday worked in addition to your monthly salary. So S/68.34 + S/34.17 = S/102.51.
Infringement on holiday rights
Sunafil recalls that those employers who fail to make the additional payment or grant compensation for substitute rest for working holidays would commit a “very serious” category infringement in terms of labor rights. The fines, which depend on the type of company (micro, small and not mype), vary between S/1,058 and S/241,638.
