Statutory pay is money that employees are entitled to by law.

The employee is always entitled to be paid during his employment and the required notice period.

Full-time employees are entitled to six weeks of paid vacation.

In Spain, for example, such employees are entitled to 45 days redundancy pay per year worked.

An employee is also entitled to have 8 hours off between shifts unless required to work because of an emergency.

Most employees will not be entitled to any additional pay for this extended period.

Any employee working during these holidays will be entitled to overtime pay.

The employees are now entitled to payments because the company is again earning money.

The injured employee is also generally entitled to be considered for promotion as though still present.

"Our position is that the employees are entitled to a fair wage increase," she said.
