Labor Day pay rules out

Manila, Philippines – The Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) has released the pay rules for Labor Day.

Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda D. Baldoz said since Labor Day is a regular holiday, employers in the country’s private sector were reminded that if the holiday falls on an employee’s regular workday and if the day is worked, the employee is entitled to 200 percent of his basic wage on the first eight hours and for work in excess of eight hours, an additional 30 percent of his hourly rate on that day.

If unworked, the employee is entitled to 100 percent of the regular daily rate, provided he was present, or was on leave with pay, on the workday immediately preceding the holiday.

If the day is the employee’s rest day, and is worked, he is entitled to 260 percent of his daily rate on the first eight hours, plus 30 percent for work in excess of eight hours on that day.

If unworked, the employee is entitled to only 100 percent of his regular rate, provided he was present, or was on leave with pay, on the workday immediately preceding the holiday. (Leslie Ann G. Aquino)
