The Department of Labor and Employment announced yesterday that April 7, Monday has been declared a regular non working holiday in observance of the Araw ng Kagitingan (April 9). DOLE acting secretary Marianito Roque said that Proclamation No. 1463 issued by President Arroyo moved the commemoration of Araw ng Kagitingan to the nearest Monday, April 7.
Roque said that the holiday pay rules, supposedly applicable for April 9, shall be applied instead on April 7.
Workers should be paid 100 percent of their regular salary for that day if it is the workers’ regular workday and the day is unworked.
If worked, 200 percent shall apply for the first eight hours, and an additional 30 percent of the hourly rate for the work in excess of eight hours.
If the day falls on an employee’s rest day and is unworked, 100 percent of the regular daily rate shall apply. If worked, the employee shall receive 230 percent of the regular daily rate for the first eight hours, and an additional 30 percent of the hourly rate for work in excess of eight hours.
