Details about the Special Non-Working Holiday Computation Guide for Workers
SPECIAL NON-WORKING HOLIDAY COMPUTATION PHILIPPINES – You can check here the guide on how much employees are entitled to during this type of holiday.
Are you one of the countless Filipinos who await the holidays in the Philippines? Every year, aside from the regular holidays or the public holidays which are consistent on their holiday status annually, there are also additional holidays following certain declarations. They are also called special non-working days.
The special non-working days are the holidays that are usually determined by the local government units or specific industries. During this type of holiday, a worker who reports to work gets an additional pay on top of the basic salary for the day.
The labor department has set a special non-working holiday computation for each case of a work report on the said holiday.
- If the worker did not report to work on a special non-working day, the employee is not entitled to any additional pay unless there is a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) requiring the payment to workers during a holiday.
- If the worker reported to work for 8 hours on a special non-working day, he/she is entitled to an extra pay that is equivalent to 30% of his/her basic wage.
- If the worker worked overtime on a special non-working day, he/she gets another 30% extra pay for every hour of overtime work.
- If the worker worked for 8 hours on his/her rest day, he/she is entitled to an additional payment that is equivalent to 50% or half of his/her daily salary on top of the basic wage for the day.
- If the worker worked overtime on his/her rest day, he/she receives an extra pay that is equivalent to 30% of the daily salary for every hour of work on top of the daily salary and the 30% added pay.
