The Supreme Court establishes that rest days cannot coincide with public holidays: how can timenet help you adapt to this regulation

The Supreme Court recently ruled that companies cannot make workers' weekly rest days coincide with official holidays, whether state, regional or local. This practice, common in sectors such as hospitality or commerce, where schedules rotate and rest days vary, has been considered contrary to law. The ruling establishes that workers have the right to enjoy both weekly rest days and holidays independently, and that they cannot overlap.

This court decision means that companies must review and adapt their work schedules to ensure that rest days and public holidays do not coincide. In the event that this overlap occurs, the company is obliged to compensate the worker with an additional day of rest or with financial compensation, as established by the applicable collective agreement.
