Holiday pay awaits workers on Nov 1, 2
By Nidz Godino
"If employee did not work, no work, no pay principle shall apply, unless there is company policy, practice or collective bargaining agreement granting payment on special day," Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma said additional pay awaits private employees who will opt to report for work today and tomorrow.
Laguesma said workers who will opt to enjoy holiday and not report to work on Nov. 1 and 2 are not getting any pay.
Laguesma said, in advisory, principle of ""no work no pay" shall apply for Nov. 1 and 2, which have been declared as special non-working days.
But Laguesma reminded employers to comply with their legal obligation in providing rightful wages to their workers, particularly those who will render services during holidays.
Under rules, employees who report for work today are entitled to an additional 30 percent of their basic pay for first eight hours of work.
For services done beyond eight hours, employee shall be paid additional 30 percent of hourly rate on said day.
Work on special non-working day that also falls on employee's rest day shall be paid additional 50 percent of basic wage on first eight hours of work.
Overtime work on special day falling on worker's rest day shall be paid an additional 30 percent of hourly rate on said day.
