List of April 2024 Holidays & the Special Events Celebrated
APRIL 2024 HOLIDAYS – Here is a guide on the regular and special non-working days in the coming month of April.
Among the many days in a year which are either 365 or 366 all in all, the holidays are undeniably among the days that countless people await annually. In some cases, the holiday means extra pay while in others, it means extra time for rest or to bond with family and friends.
In the Philippines, there are two (2) most common types of holidays in a year — the Regular Holidays which are marked red in the Philippine calendar and the Special Non-Working Day.
During regular holidays, the classes in schools are suspended as well as the work in both public and private sectors. However, truth be told that there are offices that have to continue their operation even on holidays. The employees who report to work on a regular holiday are entitled for an extra pay.
The extra pay for the employees who will be reporting to work on a regular holiday depends on the regular holiday pay computation set under the Philippine law. In the case of the government employees, work is cancelled but there is no deduction from their salaries on the said holiday(s).
Holidays that fall on a Friday or a Monday lead to long weekends — which is another much-awaited thing of countless people. Are you eager to know if there are April 2024 holidays in the Philippines?
