How to Calculate Your Holiday Pay
The standard formula for calculating holiday pay in Mexico is:
Holiday Pay = Hourly Wage × Hours Worked × 3
Example: Worker in Mexico
A worker in Mexico earning $25/hour working 8 hours on a public holiday:
- Holiday rate at 3x: $25 × 3 = $75.00/hour
- Holiday pay: $75.00 × 8 hours = $600.00
- Regular pay would be: $25 × 8 = $200.00
- Extra premium earned: $400.00
Key Considerations for Mexico
- Check your employment contract for specific holiday pay entitlements
- Collective agreements may specify higher rates than statutory minimums
- Some industries may have additional holiday work restrictions
- Compensatory time off may be offered instead of or in addition to premium pay
