Today, Friday, July 29, is a national holiday, but some workers must continue to work as usual.
Those employees who should work today they will have to receive a surcharge, how to calculate it?
Worker Cesar Puntriano told Andina that according to the rules, during these holidays, employees must rest, and the employer usually pays them both days at the end of the month. But, if this does not happen, the legislation establishes that employees receive two additional days of wages for each holiday worked at the end of the month.
In addition to the normal pay for their working day, workers should receive Additional payment pay that will cost double your normal daily wage.
For example: if a worker receives 1,500 soles per month, his daily wage is equivalent to 50 soles. If this worker works on a holiday, then at the end of the month he should receive an additional 100 soles, since he must be paid one day of remuneration for working on a holiday plus a 100% increase: in this case, 50 soles plus 50 soles.
Keep in mind that if you worked on July 28th and 29th, you must do the calculation for each day. holiday labored.
Continuing with the above example, if you work both days, you will receive an additional 200 soles at the end of the month (100 soles for work on the 28th and 100 soles for work on the 29th).
But, if the holiday coincides with the weekly rest day and the employee works without a replacement rest, the amount indicated above, two additional days of wages, corresponds to it.
Please note that this surcharge applies to both personal and workers who work remotely.
In addition, this applies to all workers in the formal regime, including workers in micro and small enterprises.
