In what cases is there no rest on Labor Day?
According to the Labor Code, decree No. 1441 of the Congress of the Republic of Guatemala, May 1 is considered a “day off with pay for private workers.” However, in certain cases, some companies may require the presence of workers on holidays. If this is your case, article 128 of the code establishes that, in addition to the salary corresponding to the day of rest, the time worked as overtime will be compensated.
How do I pay on May 1 if I work?
For those who must work during the May 1 break, the Labor Code specifies that the company must remunerate this day as extraordinary work, that is, with an additional 50% of the usual salary per day worked. To approximately calculate this compensation, you can divide the monthly salary by 30 (days of the month) to obtain the daily salary, and then multiply it by 1.5. The result is the total of what you will be paid for working on a paid day of rest. This is the formula: Salary ÷ 30 X 1.5.
For example, if you earn Q 3,000.00 a month, the daily salary is Q 100.00, and when you work a day of rest you will receive a total of Q 150.00, the extra they will pay you is Q 50.00. Do the calculation with your salary!
