Domestic workers must receive triple payment for Easter and overtime

Today, Saturday March 30, commemorates the International Domestic Worker Dayso it is vital to know what the rights and benefits are for the approximately 400,000 employees.

In accordance with Law 31047, domestic workers during this long holiday (Holy Week) must receive a triple payment, in the event that their employer requires their service, reported from Sunafil. Otherwise, they have the right to take the day off for holidays.

How much would you receive for working overtime?

For example, in the case of an employee who receives S/1,025 (the minimum wage), per day she earns S/34.16, and divided by 8 hours a day, the income is S/4.27 every 60 minutes. Thus, if you spend one hour in overtime, you would be charged S/5.3 for each of the first two hours and S/5.7 for each of the remaining hours, based on the legal surcharge.

“This is not a favor, but they must pay you for those hours of additional domestic service,” recalled Sunafil, who urged employers to comply with the legal framework, since failure to do so will be considered a serious infraction.
