Important: The “no work, no pay” principle applies during special days and
on such other special days as may be proclaimed by the President or by
Congress.
Special Days

"Workers who are not required or permitted to work on special days are not
entitled to any compensation. This, however, is without prejudice to any volun-
tary practice or provision in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) pro-
viding for payment of wages and other benefits for days declared as special
days even if unworked."
Special Days

"On the other hand, work performed on special days merits additional com-
pensation of at least thirty percent (30%) of the basic pay or a total of one hun-
dred thirty percent (130%). Where the employee works on a special day fall-
ing on his rest day, he/she shall be entitled to an additional compensation of
at least fifty percent (50%) of his/her basic wage or a total of one hundred
fifty percent (150%)."
Special Days

"For work performed on a declared Special Work Day, an employee is enti-
tled only to his/her daily wage rate. No premium pay is required since work
performed on said day is considered work on an ordinary workday."
Special Days

1. For work performed on rest days or on special days: Plus 30% of the daily
basic rate of 100% or a total of 130%.
Premium Pay Rates

2. For work performed on a rest day which is also a special day: Plus 50%
of the daily basic rate of 100% or a total of 150%.

3. For work performed on a regular holiday which is also the employee’s rest
day (not applicable to employees who are not covered by the holiday-pay
rule). Plus 30% of the regular holiday rate of 200% based on his/her daily
basic wage rate or a total of 260%.
Premium Pay Rates
