Holiday pay
The Supreme Court of Spain sets a key precedent: holiday pay must include night and holiday bonuses.
We are pleased to share a piece of news of great relevance to the labour and legal sphere in Spain. The Supreme Court has issued a ruling that reiterates the importance of including night and holiday bonuses in holiday pay. This ruling is a significant milestone that protects and reinforces workers’ rights.
Characteristics of holiday pay
Details of the ruling
The Supreme Court has ruled that holiday pay must reflect the worker’s usual remuneration, including allowances for night and holiday work. This ruling is based on the interpretation of European and national regulations, stressing that workers should not see their remuneration reduced during the holiday period.
Impact on companies and workers
For companies, this ruling implies a review and possible adjustment of salary and holiday calculation policies. It is essential that human resources departments and legal departments of organizations carefully analyze this new jurisprudence to ensure compliance and avoid possible sanctions.
On the other hand, workers directly benefit from this decision, as it guarantees that their salary during vacations faithfully reflects the economic conditions they receive during their regular working days. This contributes to greater equity and justice in the workplace.
