Working on a Sunday or overtime can mean higher pay and extra income for employees. In order to settle the value that you will receive for the additional shift, you must take into account that article 173 of the Substantive Labor Code establishes that the hour of work is worth 75 percent more than on a business day.

The first thing to do is how much does one hour of work cost per day, for this the Pension and Parafiscal Management Unit (UGPP) published the values ​​of the minimum wage per day and per hour, in order to facilitate calculations for employers which workers plan to work additional time.

The minimum wage for 2023 is $1,160,000, while the transportation assistance was stipulated at $140,606 and the daily value from Monday to Saturday is $38,667.
​
In the case of proprietary, the stipulated value is $67,667

In the case of hourly values ​​at a minimum wage it is: $4,833, and the extra daytime is: $6,042. While the nightly extra is: $8,458 and the nightly surcharge is: $1,692.

For the hours on Sundays and holidays, it was as follows: work hours: $8,458, daytime extra: $9,667, nighttime extra: $12,083 and the nighttime surcharge: $5,317

For example; If you have a minimum salary of $1,160,000, the norm indicates that for a normal eight-hour day, from Monday to Saturday, $38,666 is paid per day, and if the employee works on a Sunday or holiday, the same $38,666 is paid that same day. value plus a 75 percent surcharge. That is to say $67,667 in the case of a Sunday.

Keep in mind that if your contract establishes that you work Saturdays and Sundays, the Sunday surcharge does not apply, since it is in your normal working day.

In the event that a weekly workday is completed, but the worker must extend it on a Sunday or holiday, the surcharge must be 75 percent.​
