It’s official! And thousands of workers will be able to enjoy a decent holiday, since the number of 6 days that only companies granted to their workers from the first year worked, will now go to 12 days of continuous rest.

And it is that there are no setbacks in the extension of rest days, after the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, signed the decree of dignified vacations for employees, which was reflected in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DDL) last Tuesday, December 27 and after approval by the Senate.

In this way, workers will be able to request up to 12 days of vacation, continuous or split, as they prefer. The measure will come into force on January 1, 2023.

What if I’ve been with the company for over a year? The increase will be granted later according to the seniority of each worker, since it will increase by two days per year for the following five years, until reaching 20 days of compulsory rest.

In this sense, if you still have doubts about how the holidays will be taken into account, the table will be as follows.

*1 year worked – 12 days of vacation

*2 years – 14 days

*3 years – 16 days

*4 years – 18 days

*5 years – 20 days

The table will continue for periods of five by five, that is, every five years you will add two more days to your vacation.

After having made it known that “it is already a fact”, the Mexican president reaffirmed the importance of the vacation period for employees, since it is the best for both the organization and the company.

“You must rest, that is to say work and rest. And you know what San Benito recommends? Eight hours to work, eight hours to rest and eight hours to think,” he said during the announcement.

Moreover, he revealed that even he worked more than 12 hours and rested at least eight hours to recover from everything.

“In my case, as I no longer have much to think about because I already know what it is about, I already have the project well defined, since there are eight and eight, there are 16 jobs and eight rests, which sometimes makes eight and that’s fine, because sleep is the most restful thing there is, the doctors tell me, but when you can’t, well, no way. that the dream is not good”.

According to the document, the project aims to protect the human right to holidays, without jeopardizing the functioning of businesses or workplaces.

For his part, Senator Napoleón Gómez Urrutia recognized the effort and work done by Senators Patricia Mercado Castro, of the Movimiento Ciudadano; Sasil de León Villard, from the PES; Geovanna del Carmen Bañuelos de la Torre, from the PT; Bertha Alicia Caraveo Camarena and Ricardo Velázquez Meza, from Morena.

“Without a doubt, we Mexicans are hard-working people, but this positive characteristic of our society has been abused in many cases, to the point that our country ranks first in terms of working hours. longest in the entire continental United States,” said.
