Monday declared non-working day

There would be no work and class on Monday as Malacañang issued Proclamation No. 839 declaring it a non-working holiday in lieu of November 30, Bonifacio Day, which is declared a regular working day.

The Department of Labor and Employment said that November 28 is a non-working holiday but all activities and celebrations in observance of Bonifacio Day will still be observed on November 30, Wednesday.

On November 30, the nation would celebrate the 142nd birth anniversary of Andres Bonifacio, the Great Plebeian and one of the country's heroes who fought for freedom from Spain.

In an advisory, DOLE Secretary Patricia Sto. Tomas said workers who report to work on Monday are entitled to receive additional 100 percent of their daily rate. Those who would not report to work will receive their rate for the day.

If an employee works in excess of eight hours, he is entitled to an additional 30 percent of his hourly rate on the said day.

If the holiday falls on an employee's rest day, he is entitled to receive his salary for the day. But if he works on that day, he will have 30 percent additional pay on top of his double salary for the day on the first eight hours. - Wenna A. Berondo
