The month of November has begun, accompanied by its share of changes and its public holidays: November 1st and 11th. If some of you are taking advantage of this All Saints' Day long weekend, others will be working this Friday, November 1, 2024. Will those who are part of the second category be paid double? Explanations.
Check collective agreements
In France, only May 1st is a mandatory non-working day. In other words, with the exception of Labor Day, there are no regulations in the Labor Code regarding wage increases. A public holiday worked is considered a working day.
However, collective agreements (industry or company) exist and can, if necessary, give those who work on public holidays salary increases, explained Capital. They can also lead to an additional day of rest as compensation, specified the economic magazine.
