In its Labor Advisory No. 3 (Series of 2019), the DOLE said workers who will not report to work, will not be entitled to wages. "If the employee did not work, the 'no work, no pay' principle shall apply unless there is a favorable company policy, practice or collective bargaining agreement (CBA) granting payment on special day," said the DOLE. The labor department said that for work done during the special non-working day, workers shall be paid an additional 30 percent of their daily rate on the first eight hours of work. Meanwhile, for those who worked in excess of eight hours, the employee shall be paid an additional 30 percent of his/her hourly rate.
