ibarra Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 https://rollybrook.com/employee-pay.htm Excerpt: Holidays: If your worker works on any of the Mexican legal holidays, you must pay double time plus the regular pay; i.e., triple time. If the worker is paid for the holiday, but doesn't work, you cannot deduct the day from the "days worked" in the preceding computations for aguinaldo or vacación. If your worker works on any Sunday, you must pay an additional 25% of the daily wage. For weekly workers, you divide the salary by 7, then add 25% to the daily amount for the Sunday pay. This assumes that you have given the employee some other day off during the week. If the employee worked the full 7 days that week you owe overtime pay also. That gets much more complicated. Talk with your accountant. The Mexican legal holidays are: Jan 1, New Year's Day 1st Monday in Feb, Constitution Day 3rd Monday in March, Benito Juarez's Birthday May 1, Labor Day Sep 16, Independence Day 3rd Monday in Nov, Revolution Day Dec 25, Christmas There are several other commonly accepted holidays (the banks may even be closed), but these seven are the only legal holidays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunFan Posted April 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Of course, I should have checked Roly first. Interesting that Good Friday is not a legal holiday. SunFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've gotten the "legal" answer already. However. IMO, if she's a devout catholic I'd suggest some amount of bonus for her for today. Mine won't be coming tomorrow becasue she and some family members are doing the Talpa peregrinación.... so included some extra in her last pay towards that.
