This is what the extra Christmas pay will be like if you have only worked half a year
The collection of the extra Christmas pay It is a labor right that is included in the Workers’ Statute. However, doubts may arise among those people who have not spent a year working in a company, but have only been there for six months.
As stated in the article 31 of the regulations, “the worker has the right to two extraordinary bonuses a yearone of them on the occasion of the Christmas holidays and the other in the month established by collective agreement or by agreement between the employer and the legal representatives of the workers.
What happens then if you have only worked for six months and not the entire year? Taking into account that the Accrual of extra payments is usually annualyou would have to have worked all year to be able to collect it in full. Otherwise, what will be applied will be a proportional calculationindicate from Newswork.es.
With regards to the amount of the extrathe Workers’ Statute indicates that “the amount of such bonuses will be fixed by collective agreement.”
Furthermore, as it is a right that is generated for each day worked, the amount received “can never be less than 30 days of the base salary or the interprofessional minimum wage“, which for now is established at 1,000 gross euros per month for a full-time worker spread over 14 annual payments.
In this way, assuming that a person has been working in a company for six months and their extra was equivalent to 1,000 euros, to calculate it we would have to divide that amount by 12 (months), and multiply the result by 6, which are the months worked to date. The result would be 500 eurosthe amount that person would charge as a Christmas extra.
