As is tradition every year, the first day of the year is consecrated as a motionless holiday. During this date, many people take advantage of the well-deserved rest to celebrate the arrival of the new year, sharing the celebrations late into the night with the family or escaping if the holiday creates a long weekend, as happens when January 1st falls. on Monday.
However, for some people, work responsibilities persist and they must participate in the workday. In these cases, uncertainty arises about the pay of those who carry out their duties during holidays.

2024 begins with a long weekend, as Monday January 1st is an immovable public holiday in our calendar established by Law 27.399. Although some workers do not enjoy this rest and still have to show up for work.
