In brief
Private sector employees who agree to work on 7 June without enjoying a subsequent compensatory day off will receive an additional payment equivalent to two days of work (one for the work performed and the other for the 100% surcharge for working on a holiday without substitute rest). This also applies to personnel who work remotely.

Calculation of the amount to be received
To calculate the additional amount, the monthly remuneration has to be divided by 30 to obtain the value of the daily remuneration. For example, if you receive a monthly remuneration of PEN 3,000, the daily remuneration will be PEN 100. In the case of working this Friday, 7 June, the following amounts would apply:
- Remuneration for the work performed (PEN 100).
- Remuneration for the 100% surcharge (PEN 100).
Thus, in this scenario, the worker should receive a total of PEN 200 for the holiday worked, in addition to the usual monthly remuneration of PEN 3,000.
Weekly rest coinciding with holidays
If the regular weekly rest days coincide with the upcoming holiday of Friday, 7 June, the worker will not be entitled to additional pay.
Paid time off
Holidays that coincide with paid time off are not deducted from the paid time off taken, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
