What does the Sunafil resolution say?

The Resolution No. 830-2023-Sunafil/TFL-First Chamber is part of a complaint against a company that was sanctioned for “not carrying out periodic surveillance tests on the health status of workers” and classified it as a serious offense with a payment of S/5,670. This sets a precedent in which it is indicated that if the worker reports that he has not been able to take his vacation, his workplace can be financially penalized.

The Labor Supervision Court points out that the protection of this rest time is important because it allows the realization of various needs such as conciliation of family responsibilities, personal life and leisure, among other aspects.

How can you avoid sanctions?

According to the Echecopar Study report, employers are recommended to review the staff’s vacation record, with the aim of scheduling this break at the optimal time and avoiding its expiration. Furthermore, if they manage to identify that there are some vacations that are about to expire, negotiate with the worker on reduction agreements, thus eliminating the incentives to report the company.
