Day shifts are eight hours long while night shifts are seven hours long.
However, companies usually work between 40 and 45 hours per week. Overtime is allowed for twice or three times the regular hourly wages, depending on the corresponding number of hours worked. Triple wages are also paid when working on any of the seven legal holidays. After continuously working for one year, employees are entitled to no less than six working days of paid vacation. This vacation period will increase two days up to a maximum twelve days for each additional year of work.
