The public sector employees during the next six months will work on 12 Saturdays for the 12 days that were declared nonworking by the Commission for Exceptional Situations during the state of emergency. A decision to this effect was drafted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Special Protection and is to be approved by the Government, IPN reports.
Under the draft decision, the working Saturdays will be: May 23, June 13, June 20, July 4, July 18, August 1, August 22, September 5, September 19, October 3, October 17 and October 31 this year. It is proposed that the salary earners should work from 8am until 4:30 pm, with a lunch break between 12 noon and 12:30pm.
If the individual work contract or labor relations expire before the employees work for these 12 days, the employer, if the draft decision is approved by the Government, will retain the salary paid to the employee for the non-worked period from the payments intended for this.
