Nagpaalala ang Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) sa mga employers na tiyaking magbayad ng holiday pay ngayong buwan.
Ayon kay DOLE Sec. Silvestre Bello III, isinasaad sa Presidential Proclamation No. 8 ang panuntunan ng pagbabayad sa double pay sa Abril 9, 14, at special non-working holidays sa Abril 15.
Itinatakda ng advisory ang tamang pagbabayad ng sahod para sa mga manggagawa sa pribadong sektor alinsunod sa Proclamation No. 1236 na nilagdaan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte, na nagdedeklara na ang Abril 9 ay paggunita sa Araw ng Kagitingan habang ang Abril 14 at Abril 15 ay Huwebes at Biyernes Santo at Abril 16 na Black Saturday.
“If the employee did not work, he/she shall be paid 100% of his/her salary for days indicated [(daily rate x cost of living allowance) x 100%], while for work done during the regular holiday, the employee shall be paid 200% of his/her regular salary for the first eight hours [(daily rate x COLA) x 200%].
“For working overtime (work done in excess of eight hours), he/she shall be paid an additional 30% of his/her hourly rate [Hourly rate of the basic daily wage x 200% x 130% x number of hours worked].
“ If an employee works on a regular holiday that also falls on his/her rest day, he/she shall be paid an additional 30% of his/her hourly rate of 200% [(daily rate x COLA) x 200%] + [30% (daily rate x 200%)].
“ For overtime work on a regular holiday that also falls on his/her rest day, he/she shall be paid an additional 30% of his/her hourly rate on said day [Hourly rate of the basic daily wage x 200% x 130% x 130% x number of hours worked].
Samantala, ang mga Abril 16 ay isang special non-working day.
“If the employee did not work, the “no work, no pay” principle shall apply, unless there is a company policy, practice, or collective bargaining agreement (CBA) granting payment on a special day. For work done during the special day, he/she shall be paid an additional 30 percent of his/her basic wage on the first eight hours of work [(basic wage x 130%) + COLA]. For work done in excess of eight hours (overtime work), he/she shall be paid an additional 30 percent of his/her hourly rate on the said day [hourly rate of the basic wage x 130% x 130% x number of hours worked],” ayon pa sa DOLE.
