The 2 weekend-falling días de descanso obligatorio in 2028 are absorbed into the regular Saturday and Sunday count, so the working-day reduction comes only from the 5 weekday-falling entries. Mexico observes 7 mandatory federal labor holidays under Article 74 of the Ley Federal del Trabajo, with the 2006 reform applying Monday observance to Día de la Constitución, Natalicio de Benito Juárez, and Día de la Revolución.

Holidays not included

Cultural holidays such as Día de las Madres (May 10), Día de los Muertos (November 1-2), Día de la Raza (October 12), and Christmas Eve (December 24) are not federal labor holidays under Article 74. Banking-sector days such as the bimonthly bank holiday cycle and presidential transmission day (every six years on December 1) are included in the federal set.
