Seaport passenger volume increase this weekend expected
By Nidz Godino
“Unless there is favorable company policy, practice or collective bargaining agreement granting payment on special day, ‘no work no pay’ principle applies,” Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said with long holiday weekend starting today until Aug. 26, Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is expecting increase in volume of passengers at seaports, including those heading to tourist destinations.
PCG acting spokesman Commodore Algier Ricafrente said higher volume of passengers, comprising mostly of tourists, would most likely occur in short route ports like Batangas to Calapan in Oriental Mindoro and mainland Aklan to Boracay Island.
With expected increased activity at seaports, Ricafrente said their personnel in concerned stations and sub-stations would implement necessary safety measures to maintain order at the ports.
PCG would be on lookout for unscrupulous passenger boat operators and boat captains intending to take advantage of the high number of passengers, in hurry to reach their destinations and offer their colorum services.
Meanwhile, workers who opt to enjoy holiday and not report for work today are not getting any pay, according to the DOLE.
In advisory, DOLE noted “no work no pay” principle applies during special non-working days like today.
Meanwhile, those who will be reporting for work shall be paid additional 30 percent of their basic wage on the first eight hours of work.
Those who render overtime work shall be paid additional 30 percent of their hourly rate.
Employees who will be required to report on Ninoy Aquino Day, coincides with their rest day, shall be paid additional 50 percent of their basic wage on the first eight hours of work and another 30 percent for overtime work.
On National Heroes’ Day, workers who will be reporting for work shall receive double their regular daily pay. Services rendered beyond eight hours shall be paid additional 30 percent of worker’s hourly rate.
DOLE said employees who will report for work on Monday that falls on their rest day shall get additional 30 percent on top of 200 percent pay. Additional 30 percent of hourly rate will be added for services beyond eight hours.
Those who will not report for work shall receive 100 percent of their regular daily pay.
