The answer

A day laborer is not entitled to annual leave or an end-of-service bonus unless there is a verbal or customary agreement, or binding labor regulations. Since there is no agreement or custom between the questioner and the employer, and the state regulations do not support the day laborer's claim, it is not permissible for the questioner to take any money from the employer except with his consent. The day laborer can demand an increase in wages when renewing the daily contract, or refuse to work. The employer, on the other hand, can reduce the wages.
