Statutory holidays

Statutory holidays (referred as "''feriados''" or "''días de asueto''" in Mexico) are legislated through the federal government and ruled by the Federal Labor Law (''Ley Federal del Trabajo''). Most workers, public and private, are entitled to take the day off with regular pay. However, some employers may require employees to work on such a holiday, but the employee must be paid: * the regular pay for the statutory holiday if no work is performed by the employee, and * the regular pay and two additional daily salary rates if work is performed by the employee, for a total of triple the usual rate. When a statutory holiday falls on a Sunday, Monday is considered a statutory holiday; if a statutory holiday falls on Saturday, Friday will be considered a statutory holiday. In addition to these dates, election days designated by federal and local electoral laws are also statutory holidays.
