THE DEPARTMENT of Labor and Employment (DoLE) yesterday said those
working on Oct. 1, a holiday declared to observe the end of the
Muslims' holy month, will receive double pay.
The observance of Eid'l Fitr was based on Proclamation 1625, said a
press statement from the department.
The rest of the statement said:
if the employee works in excess of eight hours, the pay is equivalent to
the hourly rate for that day (200% of the regular wage divided by
eight), plus 30% of the hourly rate;
regular employees will still be paid if they do not work;
employees whose rest day falls on Oct. 1 will receive more than double
(260%) of the regular pay. If the employee renders overtime work, the
pay is based on an hourly rate (260% of the pay divided by eight), plus
30% of that rate.
The next holiday is on Nov. 1, All Saint's Day, which is a special
non-working holiday.
