Holiday Pay in PH: What’s the difference between a Regular Holiday and a Special Non-Working Day?
The Labor Code of the Philippines specifies two types of holidays: the “regular holiday” and the “special non-working day.”
There is a difference in the compensation that employers must pay between the two types of holidays. There is also a difference in what is closed and in how the days are declared.
Type | Pay if… | |
---|---|---|
Did not work (including rest days) | Did work | |
Regular holiday | 100% of the daily wage | 200% of the daily wage |
Special non-working holiday | not paid | 130% of the daily wage |
Special working holiday | not paid | 100% of the daily wage |
On top of these pay rules, an employee shall be given an additional 30% if the holiday falls on his or her rest day, and an additional 30% if they work overtime.
