Thirteenth Month Pay in Domestic Work Contracts
This article of the National Collective Labor Agreement for Domestic Work establishes the right of domestic workers to receive a thirteenth monthly salary, equivalent to their actual gross salary, including the indemnity in lieu of board and lodging, as specified in the minutes attached to the contract. This Christmas bonus must be paid by December of each year.
For workers who have not completed a year of service, the amount of the thirteenth month salary is prorated based on the months worked, thereby ensuring fairness and recognition for the service time actually provided. Moreover, the right to the thirteenth month salary also extends during periods of absence such as illness, work accidents, occupational disease, and maternity, within the time limits of job retention and for the portion of salary not covered by the responsible bodies.
This provision underscores the commitment to ensuring domestic workers receive supplementary financial support, acknowledging their essential contribution within families and society.
