In the Philippine setting, there are specific ways to determine when and how to pay holiday credits.
Holiday Pay for Daily-Paid Employees
If you are a daily-paid employee and do not report for work on a "special holiday," you will not receive holiday pay, which is 30%. However, if it is a "Legal Holiday," and you work the day before the holiday, you are entitled to an 8-hour pay or 100%.
Holiday Pay for Monthly-Paid Employees
If you are a monthly-paid employee and work on a special holiday, you will receive an additional 30%. If you do not work, you will still receive 100% of your pay, meaning you will not be marked as absent. On a legal holiday, if you work on that specific date, you receive an additional 100%. If you do not work, you will not be marked as absent.
Thank you.
