The Day of the Dead holiday is celebrated on November 2nd and is nationally organized in a non-optional manner. Therefore, companies that require their employees to work on this day must pay an extra hour at 100% (double what is received on regular days) or exchange days off, if it aligns with the employee’s schedule.

There are some professions that do not allow staying home on this day, such as doctors, database administrators, and others. Therefore, the CLT rule provides for additional payment and does not allow staying home.

Only essential service portals such as hospitals, markets, and pharmacies remain open. Stores and other businesses can choose whether to open or close, as is the case with gyms. Therefore, it is advisable to check the company’s social media on the announcements tab to see if they remain open. Another way is to check the newspapers in your city since more populous and touristy areas tend to have more establishments open while smaller ones are more restricted.

According to art. 70 of the CLT, the possibility of an employee working during national holidays such as religious and civil ones is prohibited. However, as mentioned earlier, there are some professions that provide services that must continue to operate, especially medical or pharmaceutical professionals. In this case, the law stipulates that everyone who is required to work must receive payment of 100% to 200% for the day.

Another option for some stores and companies is to swap days. For example, the Day of the Dead falls on November 2nd, which is a Tuesday. Therefore, they can arrange for, if agreed upon by the employees, to stay home on the 1st, thus extending the weekend.

The day should be marked, in large Brazilian regions like Santa Paulina, by masses. In some cases, broadcasts are conducted live from cemeteries or even inside Catholic and Christian churches.

Day of the Dead in Brazil and Around the World

The Day of the Dead is celebrated differently in various countries worldwide. In Brazil, it is a time to remember relatives and friends who are no longer with us. It is not a day of celebration but rather one of hope and prayer. A day of fasting during which certain types of food cannot be consumed. In other places, such as Mexico, there is the Day of the Dead.

The Day of the Dead originated over 3,000 years ago, even before European colonization in the 15th and 16th centuries. The celebration marks the end of one cycle in the calendar to begin another. It is a time when the doors to the other world open for the dead to communicate with the living. Therefore, it is not a sad day but one of happiness and celebration. It is because of this that Mexico receives a significant number of tourists during this time: they take to the streets in costumes to recall the mystical world. They consume foods of pre-Hispanic origin and sugary products, such as sweet bread and candy skulls.

It is also common for Mexican metropolitan regions to have large gatherings of people singing and parading, something quite similar to a carnival in Brazil.
