What benefit will workers who work on April 17 receive?
On Thursday, April 17, 2025, corresponding to Holy Thursdayis considered a national holiday in Peru. This means that workers are entitled to a remunerated rest. However, if they must work during this day and do not receive a compensatory rest day, their employer must grant them a payment equivalent to the Triple of your daily remuneration usual. This rule will also apply for those who work on Friday, April 18, called Good Friday.
The calculation of this benefit is broken down into three concepts: the salary corresponding to the holiday, which is already included in the monthly remuneration; an additional payment for the work done that day; and a third amount equivalent to 100% of the daily remuneration. For example, if a worker receives a monthly salary of S/1,500 (S/50 daily), in case of April 17, without compensatory rest, he must receive S/100 additional to his usual salary.
