Overview
- Deputy Armando Corona Arvizu introduced an initiative to add Article 74 Bis to the Federal Labor Law recognizing birthdays as an obligatory rest day.
- Workers would choose either a paid day off on their birthday or to work that day for double pay.
- Employees must notify their employer at least 15 days in advance of their choice for that date.
- Eligibility begins at six months of service, while newer hires would receive proportional paid leave.
- Noncompliant employers could face sanctions, and the bill joins 12 other pending proposals to expand statutory rest days.
