the Municipal holiday It represents privacy, as some workers may live in a nearby municipality, such as in a greater metropolitan area, and the company may be located in another city where there is a public holiday.

On the other hand, if he lives in a city where the day is normal, but works in a city where the holiday is official, he has the right to rest, without prejudice to his wages.”
