Mandatory and usual holidays: which ones and how they are paid
One issue that confuses employees every year is which vacations are considered common and which are mandatory, and whether they are paid while working during them, with surcharges.
The New Year does not belong to the mandatory holidays by law, but to the usual ones that are granted based on special regulations in the BCC, Labor Regulations, etc., either on a regular or voluntary basis by the employer.
The difference between mandatory vacations and regular or optional vacations is that the employment of employees is prohibited on mandatory vacations. and the operation of businesses other than those that legally operate on Sundays and holidays.
Thus if an employee is employed these days extra will be paid. Specifically, you will receive an additional salary and a 75% surcharge calculated on the legal hourly wage for as many hours as you work that day.
During optional vacations, the employer decides whether the company will operate, in which case employees are obliged to work if so decided.
They are not entitled to any salary other than the monthly salary, but are responsible for the 75% increase calculated over the legal hourly wage for the number of hours they work that day.
On mandatory holidays it is not legal to offset a day of rest due with the mandatory holiday.
Penalties
In the event that the employer, without the authority’s permission, employs the staff on Sundays or on compulsory holidays, they are punished with imprisonment of up to 6 months and a fine.
Compensation for days off
- For companies that do not operate
In companies that do not operate, the usual salary is paid without any surcharge to those that receive a salary, while those that are paid a salary are paid their monthly salary.
- For companies that operate legally
Employees who will be employees have the right to:
1) if they are paid a daily wage, their usual wage paid and a 75% surcharge that will be calculated on their legal hourly wage for as many hours as they work
2) In case employees are paid with a monthly salary:
a) In the case of companies that are late on Sundays and holidays and that operate exceptionally on mandatory holidays, 1/25 of their normally paid salary and an additional 75% surcharge on the legal salary for the number of hours of job
b) In the case of companies that legally operate on Sundays and other legal holidays, only a 75% surcharge is owed, which is calculated at 1/25 of their legal salary for as many hours as they work.
Where more favorable terms (for example, BCC, Rules of Procedure, business custom or custom) apply with respect to increases in pay for work on a mandatory holiday or Sunday, they prevail.
Mandatory days and custom holidays

- March 25th

On compulsory holidays the New Year and October 28
The incorporation of January 1 and October 28 to mandatory holidays includes the draft law of the Ministry of Labor on labor regulations that will be presented in January 2021.
October 28 belongs today to the optional holiday (unless otherwise provided by BCC, DA or the law).
The operation of companies and consequently the employment of employees in them belong exclusively to the discretion of the employer, in which case the employees are obliged to work if so decided.
Likewise, January 1 does not belong to the mandatory holidays by law, however they are granted based on special regulations in BCC, Labor Regulations, etc., either regularly or voluntarily by the employer.
