The Ministry of Labor of El Salvador, under the direction of minister Rolando Castro, is carrying out inspections in businesses throughout the country during the vacation season. These actions seek to ensure compliance with labor obligations, including the payment of Christmas bonuses and double wages for work performed on december 25, as established by law.
Ministry teams have been deployed in different regions to verify that employers respect the rights of the working class. Those who have not complied with the payment of Christmas bonuses or double salary will be sanctioned with administrative processes and fines, reaffirming the government’s commitment with labor justice.
Rolando Castro highlighted the importance of these actions as part of the new vision of the Ministry of Labor, which not only supervises, but also guarantees fair working conditions for all employees. He also expressed his appreciation to employers who comply with their legal obligations.
In contrast, those who violate regulations face strict procedures to correct their actions. This firm stance seeks to establish a precedent that benefits workers and fosters an environment of compliance among companies.
The Ministry reaffirms its commitment to work even on holidays to protect labor rights and build a fairer country for Salvadoran workers. This effort represents an example of the institution’s renewed focus on defending the rights of the working class.
