The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has released pay rules for workers who are either too dedicated to their job or those who have actually no choice but to report on June 12.

President Marcos declared June 12 as a regular holiday under Proclamation No. 1006, Series of 2025, and for those who have no independence to skip work on that day, the consolation is additional payment—that comes with additional taxes that hopefully would not be nicked by… you know.

Based on Labor Advisory 11 signed by DOLE Secretary Francis Tolentino, it says that employers shall pay a total of 200 percent of the employee's wage for a work done on that day for the first eight hours.

And for work in excess of eight hours, it said the employer shall pay the employee an additional 30 percent of the hourly rate on said day, the formula for computation is this: hourly rate of the basic wage x 200% x 130% x number of hours worked.

What if the date falls on your work day and your employer suddenly asked you to report?

DOLE said  work done during a regular holiday that also falls on the employee's rest day, DOLE said the employer shall pay the employee an additional 30 percent of the basic wage of 200 percent, which should be computed like this: basic wage x 200% x 130%.

On the other hand, work done in excess of eight hours during a regular holiday that also falls on the employee's rest day compels the employer to pay the employee an additional 30 percent of the hourly rate on said day.

This is the formula for computation for that: Hourly rate of the basic wage x 200% x 130% × 130% x number of hours worked.

But even if the employee does not work, DOLE said the employer shall pay 100 percent of the employee's wage for that day, provided that the employee reports to work or is on leave of absence with pay on the day immediately preceding the regular holiday.

“Where the day immediately preceding the regular holiday is a non-working day in the establishment or the scheduled rest day of the employee, he or she shall be entitled to holiday pay if the employee reports to work or is on leave of absence with pay on the day immediately preceding the non-working day or rest day (Basic wage x 100%),” the DOLE advisory read.
