On October 25, 2024, the President of the Republic issued Executive Decree 438, whereby the following was established:
- To suspend the working day for the public and private sector on October 31, 2024.
- That the public sector will recover its working day through an additional hour during the subsequent working days.
- That the private sector may recover its working day in the same way as the public sector.
- On October 31, 2024, the entities and agencies of the public sector shall guarantee the provision of public services.
In our opinion, the private sector, by mutual agreement between the employer and the employee, may determine how to execute the working day or how to compensate it.
