ONLY private-sector workers who report for work during the celebration of the 34th anniversary of the Edsa People Power Revolution on Tuesday will be entitled to additional pay.
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said a “no work, no pay” scheme will be in effect during the event, which President Duterte declared as a special nonworking holiday.
“For work done during the special day, he/she shall be paid an additional 30 percent of his/her basic wage on the first eight hours of work,” Acting Labor Secretary Ana C. Dione said in her Labor Advisory 8-2020.
They will get an additional 30 percent of their hourly rate on said day if they will work overtime and another 50 percent of their basic wage if the holiday also coincides with their rest day.
Employees who will spend the day on vacation will not get any daily pay “unless there is a favorable company policy, practice or collective bargaining agreement” granting them payment for the special day.
Dione urged all concerned employers to observe the special pay rules for the day. The Edsa People Power Revolution, which is held every February 25, commemorates the four-day bloodless regime change that led to the ousting of former president and dictator Ferdinand Marcos in 1986.
