HOW WILL THE WORK ON THE HOLIDAYS BE PAID?

Due to the coincidence of December 25 and 26, 2021 with the weekends and January 1, 2022 with Saturday, the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays will be a total of three days more.

It should be borne in mind, however, that a minimum double wage is paid only for work on public holidays, and if the work on these days is overtime, the wage is fourfold. This was announced by the press center of the Executive Agency "General Labor Inspectorate" (GLI).

For the work of the so-called Absentee days, which compensate for the coincidence of holidays with weekends, a higher salary is paid only if the work is overtime, an increase of 75%.

For those working under an employment contract on a non-standard working day, working on a holiday, holiday or absenteeism is always overtime. Extraordinary these days is the work for the workers in the daily reporting of working hours. In these cases, the employer must assign the work with a special overtime order issued at least 24 hours in advance, which the employee is aware of against a signature.

If the employer has introduced summary reporting of working hours, the work on holidays and working days, laid down according to a schedule, is not overtime and is not paid with an increase.

In this case, workers are entitled to a higher wage only for their work on public holidays, which must be at least double, added the GLI.
