Now that 2022 is about to end, Mexican families want to know which are the holidays in which they could enjoy a rest or vacation in the coming year. Here we will resolve this question, so that you can make the most of 2023.
It is worth mentioning that recently there was a legislative change that benefits workers, giving them the right to more days of work vacations. The Federal Labor Law (LFT) has been modified to duplicate these days off and will come into effect from January 1, 2023.
How many days can you enjoy vacation, according to the recent change? Well now the Mexican workers they will have a minimum of 12 days offinstead of the six that governed in the previous document.
In addition to these benefits, it also can take advantage of non-working holidays, in which they also have the right to rest. Although they should not be confused with those that fulfill a solely commemorative role.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WORKING HOLIDAY AND A NON-WORKING DAY
Not all holidays in 2023 are non-business days. According to article 74 of the LFT, an official holiday is a mandatory rest, that is, non-working.
Meanwhile, the unofficial holiday marks a celebration that is not necessarily secular, so activities in jobs and companies are not affected.
If there are still any left, then we will detail what the working and non-working days are.
