During his time off, he journeyed through Europe, only to return and find employment terminated due to an error made by his supervisor.
In a series of events that have caused discomfort among TikTok users, a Mexican woman named Isa González shared her own experience of being fired after returning from vacation. The news about her situation was titled "Other Viral News" and was published by El Tiempo (GDA), penned by Stephany Guzmán Ayala.
González, who had traveled to Europe, found out upon her return that she had been terminated from her job. The video she shared on social media detailed her boss's mistake in not approving her vacation request, despite her having requested it "without pay," thinking this would facilitate the process. The request never arrived because her boss did not send it, and her absence was not notified.
Under Mexican labor law, González's termination must comply with certain requirements. Employees in Mexico are entitled to paid annual vacation (at least 12 days after one year of service, increasing with seniority) plus a mandatory vacation bonus ("prima vacacional") of at least 25% of their salary during vacation.
If González was terminated outside a probation period, her dismissal must follow due process. The employer must inform her of the reasons for dismissal within 5 days and can dismiss with or without cause. Upon termination, she would be entitled to payment of unused vacation days and the 25% vacation premium on those days, a proportional Christmas bonus, and any unpaid wages and benefits accrued.
If the dismissal is found to be unjustified or without legal cause, González could claim severance including 90 days’ salary plus 20 days’ salary per year worked and a seniority premium. Mexican labor law strongly protects job stability, and dismissal without just cause is uncommon and legally risky for employers.
Social media users have recommended González file a complaint with the Ministry of Labor. Other TikTok users have shared their own experiences of being fired under similar circumstances, with one user being dismissed for leaving work to attend a grandma's funeral and another for being pregnant.
The news article suggests that González may consider filing a complaint with the Ministry of Labor to contest the firing, should the procedures outlined by Mexican labor law not have been followed. If successful, she could potentially receive compensation for the injustice she has faced.
