Although All Saints’ Day (November 1) and All Souls’ Day (November 2) have been declared as special non-working days, the “no work, no pay” policy will be in effect.
Department of Labor and Employment (MANILA BULLETIN)
In Labor Advisory No. 16, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said if the employee did not work, the “no work, no pay” principle shall apply.
This, the labor department said, is unless there is a favorable company policy, practice, or collective bargaining agreement (CBA) granting payment on a special day.
The following pay rules shall also be applicable on these special days:
For work done, an employee shall be paid an additional 30 percent of his daily rate on the first eight hours.
For work done in excess of eight hours (overtime), he/she shall be paid an additional 30% of his hourly rate.
For work done during these days that also fall on employee’s rest day, he/she shall be paid an additional 50% of his/her daily rate on the first eight hours.
For work done in excess of eight hours (overtime), he/she shall be paid an additional 30% of his hourly rate.
