In a recent Supreme Court ruling regarding remuneration of holidays, the Court held that during holidays, the remuneration of the employees must be the average of all remuneration that they have received during the year. This means that the remuneration of holiday must be the “ordinary or normal remuneration” including commissions and production incentives, since it does not imply neither (i) a compensation for a greater temporary dedication (extraordinary hours) nor (ii) a duplicate payment (such as a bonus already received). This ruling constitutes a change in the Supreme Court’s doctrine regarding this matter.
