Acting Labor Secretary Manuel Imson said workers who opt to report for work on Sunday, which is Independence Day, and Monday, which has also been declared a non-working holiday, are entitled to at least 230 percent overtime pay from their employers.
Imson explained that Sunday, June 12, is a regular holiday and under the law, workers who render service during holidays are entitled to get double their regular daily pay.
He said workers would receive 200 percent pay for the first eight hours of services rendered and additional 30 percent of the hourly rate on that day.
If June 12 is an employee’s regular workday but he or she decides not to report for work, he or she is still entitled to receive 100 percent of regular salary for the day.
When the regular holiday is the employee’s rest day but he or she is required to work, the employee is paid an additional 50 percent premium pay on top of 200 percent overtime pay.
For those who also report for work on June 13, which Malacañang has declared a non-working holiday, Imson said employers are mandated to provide 30 percent additional pay.
But if that day happens to be an employee’s rest day, the worker would be given an additional 50 percent of his or her regular daily rate for the first eight hours of work and another 30 percent in excess of eight hours.
But Imson noted the "no work, no pay" policy shall apply on Monday unless there is a favorable company policy or collective bargaining agreement providing payment on a special day, even if the employee does not work on that day.
