During a regular holiday, here are the conditions set by Labor Code with regards to the additional pay:

If a worker did not work on a regular holiday, the employee is entitled to receive a full salary on the said day.

If a worker worked for eight (8) hours on a regular holiday, he/she is entitled to a “Double Pay” — the employee will get twice (2) or 200% of his/her basic salary which is computed by adding the basic wage and the cost of living allowance (COLA).

If a worker worked on overtime on a regular holiday, aside from the 200% pay, the employee is entitled to an additional pay that is equivalent to 30% of the worker’s daily rate for every hour of overtime work.

If a worker’s rest day or dayoff falls on a regular holiday and he/she reported to duty, he/she is entitled for a Double Pay on top of an equivalent of 30% of the said 200% salary for the day.

If the worker worked overtime on a rest day which is a regular holiday, the employee is entitled to a total sum of a Double Pay or 200% salary for the day, 30% of the said Double Pay, and another 30% for every hour of overtime.
