Overtime Pay-DOLE
Labor Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III issued Labor Advisory No. 19, series of 2018 to
guide employers in observing correct payment of wages for the December 8, 24, and 31,
2018 (special non-working holidays) and December 25 and 30, 2018 (regular holidays).
If the employee did not work, the "no work, no pay" policy shall apply unless there is
another company policy, practice, or collective bargaining agreement (CBA) granting
payment on special days.
For work done during the special non-working holiday, he/she shall be paid an
additional 30% of his/her daily rate on the first eight hours of work [(daily rate x 130%)
+ COLA].
For work done in excess of eight hours (overtime work), he/she shall be paid an
additional 30% of his/her hourly rate on the said day [hourly rate of the basic daily wage
x 130% x 130% x number of hours worked].
If an employee works on a special holiday that also falls on his/her rest day, he/she shall
be paid an additional 50% of his/her daily rate on the first eight hours of work [(daily
rate x 150%) + COLA].
For overtime work on a special holiday that also falls on his/her rest day, he/she shall be
paid an additional 30% of his/her hourly rate on the said day [Hourly rate of the basic
daily wage x 150% x 130% x number of hours worked].
While employers are also expected to strictly follow the pay rules for the regular
holidays - December 25 and 30, 2018.
If the employee did not work, he/she shall be paid 100% of his/her salary for days
indicated [(daily rate x cost of living allowance) x 100%], while for work done during the
regular holiday, the employee shall be paid 200% of his/her regular salary for the first
eight hours [(daily rate x COLA) x 200%].
For overtime work (work done in excess of eight hours), he/she shall be paid an
additional 30% of his/her hourly rate [Hourly rate of the basic daily wage x 200% x 130%
x number of hours worked].
If an employee works on a regular holiday that also falls on his/her rest day, he/she shall
be paid an additional 30% of his/her hourly rate of 200% [(daily rate x COLA) x 200%] +
[30% (daily rate x 200%)].
For overtime work on a regular holiday that also falls on his/her rest day, he/she shall be
paid an additional 30% of his/her hourly rate on the said day [Hourly rate of the basic
daily wage x 200% x 130% x 130% x number of hours worked]. (DOLE)
