Public Holidays Bonus
JUN 10, 2025
Employees hired exclusively to work on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays, have also the right to receive the public holidays bonus, as otherwise the right to equality would be breached (article 14 of the Spanish Constitution). This is because the work performed during those days is just as burdensome (or even more) for them (part-time employees) as it is for full-time employees who do not usually work on these days and only do it occasionally. Working on a permanent basis on public holidays is considered to be more burdensome than doing it occasionally. Therefore, it should be compensated with an additional remuneration if the employer intends not to pay the public holidays bonus. Supreme Court March 4, 2025.
