Questão jurídica principal
Whether holiday pay may validly be included in ongoing piecework wages for irregular employment
Decisão extraída
Such a set-off is only valid if the employment contract and each pay statement clearly and in writing show the holiday-pay component; that was not the case here.
Fundamentação extraída
Holiday pay must ensure full wage continuation during vacation. For an exception to the statutory prohibition, the deductible holiday amount must be identifiable from the contract and periodic pay statements so the employee can know and later verify it.
