Holy Week double pay for workers reporting

By J.Lo

Workers who will be required to work on their rest day shall be paid 150 percent of the daily rate for  first eight hours of work and  additional 30 percent of hourly rate for overtime work.

Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).said workers nationwide may opt to enjoy  long holiday break or hefty pay this Holy Week.

Employees who choose to work today, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday are entitled to double their regular daily pay, according to DOLE.

This double pay applies to the first eight hours of work and  additional 30 percent of the hourly rate for overtime work, the DOLE said in  advisory.

Workers whose rest day falls during  holiday break shall receive 230 percent for first eight hours of work.

On top of  230 percent, they will also get  additional 30 percent of the hourly rate for work done beyond eight hours.

Workers taking  holiday break are still entitled to get their regular daily pay.

On Black Saturday,  DOLE stressed that the “no work, no pay” principle shall apply.

Those who will not report for work on Saturday will not be paid unless there is  favorable company policy, practice or collective bargaining agreement granting payment on special day.

Since Black Saturday is  non-regular holiday, workers who opt to report for work shall only receive  additional 30 percent of  daily rate.
