Re: Public Holidays, Boss says no??
Lost of beating around the bush here and I'm losing patience with the prevarication!
I like our discussion to be on topic and to the point with no digression!
What is the law in the relation to this matter?

Re: Public Holidays, Boss says no??
Thanks for your reply.
It's not that I'm against public holidays. but the thread seems to be heading a little off topic. My question was, are national public holidays not applicable in "tourist zones". I'm looking for a clear answer. If its law, then it should be a yes or a no. The consequences of what my boss does or thinks in response to my actions are not a worry to me. Like I've mentioned before, they are not above the law. Sure I could lose my job for exercising my rights, but it will be him who ends up in a worse situation in the end.

To be read in conjunction with the convenio which will say if you have to work on public holidays when asked to (as you're in retail you probably will) and if there are any limitations or if you get extra pay or time off for doing so.
If you find something isn't specified in your convenio then refer back to the Estatuto de Trabajadores.

Re: Public Holidays, Boss says no??
In particular your convenio will state how many hours worked per year and rules regarding public holidays and it is up to the company to come up with a calendario laboral at the beginning of the year which follows those rules.
If there is any clause at the end of the contract, it can't reduce the rights you have in your convenio or in the Estatuto de Trabajadores.

Re: Public Holidays, Boss says no??
If week days are stipulated, do you work the same days every week? Since the dates of public holidays usually fall on different days every year, how many days per year are we talking about?
Just to clarify....
If you don't find the answer to your original question in the Convenio or Estatuto yourself, consult some one in-the-know on the spot. Your local ayuntamiento? Sindicato rep?
Is there a Spanish equivalent to the French Service-Public site? (which gives a lot of official info on all subjects in France).

Re: Public Holidays, Boss says no??
Right.... as per your original post:
So my boss told me that Spain's public holidays don't apply in touristic zones and i'm not entitled to those days off.
I live in the Canaries and work in a "tourist zone"
Can anyone confirm this is true please?
No, on one on the forum can confirm whether your boss's interpretation of Spanish law applies or whether indeed this ruling is in Spanish labor laws.
Would suggest you get advise from a labor lawyer if you feel you are being exploited.

Re: Public Holidays, Boss says no??
That doesn't mean you can choose who answers or in what manner I'm afraid. It's a public forum, people are free to comment as they wish (within site rules).
As above, if you want a certain and complete answer, a lawyer is the way to go rather than asking laypeople on the internet.
Good luck.
