Juanma Lorente on Proper Employer Handling of August 15 Holiday

Labor lawyer Juanma Lorente explained that August 15 is a statutory holiday and, when it coincides with a Saturday, employees are entitled to a replacement day off. He emphasized that employers have a legal duty to provide this compensatory leave to avoid loss of the holiday entitlement.

Lorente noted that proactive communication between companies and staff simplifies scheduling. The guidance aims to protect workers’ rights while ensuring operational continuity.
