Maximum Working Hours<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Labor Code stipulates that the maximum working hours for an employee are 40 hours per week, with at least 36 consecutive hours of weekly rest (Article 91).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Practical example:<\/strong> An employee who works eight hours a day from Monday through Friday is entitled to two consecutive days off, usually Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Overtime Work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Any work performed beyond the maximum hours must be paid for with an allowance set by the Code. The employer must ensure that overtime work does not exceed the legally prescribed limit and does not harm the employee's health (Article 93).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Practical example:<\/strong> An employee who works 10 hours in a day is entitled to receive additional pay for the two hours of overtime.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Annual Leave<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every employee has the right to paid annual leave, which may not be less than four weeks per calendar year. Leave is scheduled by agreement between the employee and the employer (Article 95).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Practical example:<\/strong> An employee who has worked a full year is entitled to 20 paid days off, excluding weekends and public holidays.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Vacations and Paid Leave<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Employees are entitled to paid leave in special cases, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Disease:<\/strong> The employee may request medical leave by submitting the appropriate documentation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Pregnancy and childbirth:<\/strong> The code guarantees the protection of pregnant workers and the right to maternity leave (Article 98).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Family emergency:<\/strong>\u00a0For example, caring for a family member in need.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
